Abstract
A long-path spectrophotometric instrument is described for the quantitative measurement of ozone and other infrared absorbing gases (such as sulfur dioxide) in unconfined ambient air. A continuous variable filter wheel is used for wavelength selection from 7 to 14 microns. The instrument can be used with an active source at a range from 0.4 to over 1.6 km or it can be used to examine passively the radiant emittance from natural sources. A minicomputer is programmed to control the instrument and analyze the data in real time. The output of spectra or pollutant concentration is on a cathode ray tube, a teletypewriter, and/or punched paper tape. The instrument is sensitive to ozone concentrations ranging from 20 microgram/cu. m. (0.01 ppm) to 2000 microgram/cu. m. (1 ppm), with a measured noise of less than 4 microgram/cu. m. and a time constant of about two minutes. (Author)
