The Carbon monOxide by Attenuated Laser Transmission (COBALT) is an in situ airborne spectrometer developed by Los Gatos Research. It uses off-axis integrated cavity output spectroscopy (OA-ICOS) to measure carbon monoxide in the troposphere and at the tropopause. COBALT operates at a wavelength of 4.60 μm and has a typical sampling rate of 1 Hz. COBALT delivers measurements with a precision of 0.2 ppbv and does not require regular calibration.
