Instrument

TD-LIF
Thermal-Dissociation Laser Induced Fluorescence

The Thermal-Dissociation Laser Induced Fluorescence (TD-LIF) is an in situ airborne sensor developed at UC Berkeley. It combines the TD and LIF techniques to measure nitrogen dioxide (NO2), peroxynitrates, nitric acid (HNO3), and other stable organic nitrates in the atmosphere. TD-LIF operates at a wavelength of 585 nm and typically measures at a frequency of 1 Hz.
