The Carbon Oxide Laser Detector 2 (COLD2) is an in situ airborne quantum cascade laser spectrometer. It measures carbon monoxide (CO) at 4.7 microns in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere. It also provides measurements of nitrous oxide (N2O). COLD2 has a measurement frequency of 1 Hz and a sensitivity of around 2 ppbv. COLD2 can also be configured to operate on balloons.
