The Harvard Halogens Instrument (HAL) is an in situ airborne fluorescence analyzer developed by Harvard University. It uses chemical titration-resonance fluorescence to detect chlorine monoxide (ClO) and thermal dissociation-chemical titration-resonance fluorescence to detect chlorine nitrate (ClONO2). HAL operates at the 118.9 nm wavelength and reports data every 35 seconds. It measures ClO and ClONO2 mixing ratios with a precision of 3 pptv and 10 pptv, respectively.
