Instrumentation

The ACRG has developed a wide range of instrumentation to measure a wide variety of gases, including the full range of Montreal (ozone-depleting) and Kyoto Protocol (global warming) gases. This instrumentation has subsequently been adopted by the entire Advanced Global Atmospheric Gases Experiment (AGAGE) network.

In addition to instruments developed in-house, the ACRG utilises a range of commercially available instruments at its various UK-based measurement sites. The group is engaged in the ongoing development of novel instrumentation for the detection of species including highly reactive Criegee intermediates and isotopes such as carbon-14.
