ClO/BrO
Multiple Axis Resonance Fluorescence Chemical Conversion Detector for ClO and BrO
The Multiple Axis Resonance Fluorescence Chemical Conversion Detector for ClO and BrO (ClO/BrO) is an in situ airborne analyzer operated by Harvard University. It measures chlorine monoxide (ClO) and bromine monoxide (BrO) in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere. ClO and BrO are converted into chlorine (Cl) and bromine (Br) by adding nitric oxide (NO) to the sample air. The concentrations of Cl and Br are then detected through resonance scattering in the vacuum ultraviolet (119 nm), which helps determine the levels of ClO and BrO. The detection limit for ClO/BrO is greater than 1 pptv.
