The Lightweight Airborne Chromatograph Experiment (LACE) is an in situ, balloon-borne, three-channel gas chromatograph 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.
