NASA NTRS1990

An intercomparison of airborne nitrogen dioxide instruments

Results on NO2 instruments are reported from the NASA Global Tropospheric Experiment Chemical Instrumentation Test and Evaluation 2 (CITE 2) program in summer 1986. The instruments tested were (1) a two-photon LIF system using a laser for NO2-NO photolysis, (2) a chemiluminescence (CL) detector using FeSO4 for NO2-NO conversion, (3) a CL detector using an arc lamp for NO2-NO photolysis, and (4) a tunable-laser-diode multipath-absorption system. The procedures for the CITE 2 ground-based and flight tests are described in detail, and the results are presented in extensive graphs. Instrument (2) was eliminated because the FeSO4 converted atmospheric PAN to NO, resulting in spuriously high NO2 values. The remaining instruments gave readings in 30-40-percent agreement at NO2 mixing ratios of 100-200 parts per trillion by volume (pptv). At ratios below 50 pptv, the correlation among the measurements was very poor, with a tendency for system (4) to give higher values than (1) or (3).

Temperature dependence of the rate constants for reactions of O/1D/ atoms with a number of halocarbons

Results are reported for an experimental study of the reactions of O(1D) with CCl4, CFCl3, CF2Cl2, CHFCl2, CHF2Cl, and CF2ClCFCl2 over the temperature range from 173 to 343 K, based on the time-resolved emission of O(1D) at 630 nm. The experiments involved photolysis of O3 by Nd-YAG laser pulses and measurements of 630-nm emission intensity in mixtures with He and the various halocarbons. Pseudo-first-order rate constants are derived from plots of the logarithms of the 630-nm emission intensities as a function of time for particular He/O3/halocarbon mixtures, and second-order rate constants are then obtained from plots of these pseudo-first-order rate constants as a function of halocarbon concentration at constant He and O3 concentrations. No temperature dependence of the second-order rate constants is observed over the range studied, within the precision of the measurements. It is found that the rate constants decrease as H is substituted for Cl in a halocarbon molecule and as F is substituted for H or Cl.
