Dataset
APHH: Fluorescence Assay Gas Expansion measurements of OH, HO2 and RO2 made at the IAP-Beijing site during the winter and summer campaigns.
Abstract
This dataset contains Fluorescence Assay Gas Expansion measurements of OH, HO2 and RO2 made at the Institute of Atmospheric Physics land station (IAP), Beijing site during the winter and summer APHH-Beijing campaigns for the Atmospheric Pollution & Human Health in a Chinese Megacity (APHH) programme.
The measurements were taken using the FAGE (Fluorescence Assay by Gas Expansion) technique which is a LIF (laser induced fluorescence) that measures on-resonance fluorescence at 308 nm. HO2 and RO2 are converted to OH via reaction with NO and NO + CO respectively.
The instrument is calibrated by photolysis of known concentration of water vapour at 185 nm to generate know concentrations of OH and HO2, same method used for HO2 but NO is injected into the flow to convert HO2 to OH. RO2 is calibrated by photolysing water vapur at 185 nm to generate OH but CH4 is added to convert OH to CH3O2, then CH3O2 is converted to OH using CO and NO. The calibration was preform every three days on campaign, and from this we can convert counts measured into concentration. The units for OH, HO2 and RO2 and there associated errors is molecules cm-3. The data has been filtered for instabilities in data collection including unstable pressure, unstable online, low laser power and not going online correctly. The data has been flagged for when the values were below limit of detection.
