Carbon Monoxide Mixing Ratio System (CO)
Instrument Categories: Atmospheric Carbon
General Overview
The Southern Great Plains (SGP) Carbon Monoxide (CO) system provides high-precision atmospheric concentration measurements of CO mixing ratio (ppbv dry air) every 10 minutes in air collected at 60 meters above ground level. Concentrations measurements are based on the principle that carbon monoxide absorbs infrared radiation at a wavelength of 4.6 µm.
Primary Measurements Taken
The following measurements are those considered scientifically relevant. Refer to the netCDF File Header Descriptions (Data Object Design Files) for the list of all available measurements, including those recorded for diagnostic or quality assurance purposes.
