Instrument : CO
Carbon Monoxide Mixing Ratio System
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.
