The In Situ Airborne Formaldehyde (ISAF) is an airborne optical sensor developed by NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC). ISAF uses laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) to measure formaldehyde throughout the troposphere and lower stratosphere. It operates at a wavelength of 353 nm and has a sampling frequency of 1 Hz. ISAF can detect formaldehyde concentrations from 10 pptv to hundreds of ppbv with an accuracy of 10%.
