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