ECD installed!
The electron capture detector was installed in Darjeeling in March 2012. Measurements of N2O and SF6 are underway and 4 months of CH4 have already been collected!
Instrument deployed to Darjeeling, India
My instrument was deployed to Darjeeling in November 2011. Measurements of CH4 are currently underway! The installation of the ECD is expected in spring 2012. More information and pictures about the deployment can be found here!
How are greenhouse gases measured?
Atmospheric methane (CH4) and (N2O) are major long-lived greenhouse gas and have the second and third highest radiative forcing after carbon dioxide (CO2). A positive radiative forcing means that the atmosphere is being warmed, while a negative forcing means that cooling Continue reading How are greenhouse gases measured?
