The Lightweight Airborne Chromatograph Experiment (LACE) is an in situ balloon-borne, three-channel gas chromatograph. It was designed to operate on the Observations of the Middle Stratosphere (OMS) balloon gondola. It provides profile measurements of various gas species up to 32 km with a vertical resolution of 300 m. LACE measures halon-1211, chlorofluorocarbons, nitrous oxide, and sulfur hexafluoride every 70 seconds. It measures methyl chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, hydrogen, methane, and carbon monoxide every 140 seconds.
