Ethane CHemical AMPlifier (ECHAMP)

Our ECHAMP sensor quantifies total peroxy radicals ([HO2] + Σ[RO2]) and Ox ([O3] + [NO2]). We have recently deployed it for studies of ozone formation and radical chemistry in cities, forests, and forest fires.

Chemical Ionization Mass Spectrometer (CIMS)

We have used our Aerodyne/TOFWERK high-resolution ToF-CIMS with iodide, bromide, and oxygen anion as reagent ions. We have used it for field measurements of organic and inorganic acid vapors, and numerous other constituents of wildfire smoke.
