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