The Chlorine Nitrate Instrument (ClONO2) is an in situ airborne analyzer used for the detection of nitrogen dioxide (NO2), chlorine monoxide (ClO), bromine monoxide (BrO), and chlorine nitrate (ClONO2). It used laser-induced resonance fluorescence (LIF) at 585 nm for the direct detection of NO2. It provides NO2 measurements in 10-second intervals with an accuracy of approximately 10%. It uses thermal dissociation and ultraviolet (118.9 nm) resonance fluorescence for the detection of ClO, BrO, and ClONO2. It provides ClO and ClONO2 measurements in 35-second intervals with a detection limit of 3 pptv and 10 pptv, respectively.
