Instrument

GGA
LGR Greenhouse Gas Analyzer

Los Gatos Research Greenhouse Gas Analyzer (LGR GGA) makes analyzers that measure trace gases such as carbon dioxide, methane, and water vapor. GGA can operate on different aircraft and take in situ measurements in the troposphere. GGA has high resolution capabilities and does not require frequent calibration.
