GPT & BLC Testing

22:05 UTC Begin equilibrating 100 ppb NO @ 5000 sccm with 15.7% lamp O3 (nominally 50 ppb in 2500 sccm)

00:06 UTC Begin NOxy cal GPT point

00:17 UTC Not much NO2 generated (if any), increased O3 to 18.1% lamp (nominally 100 ppb in 2500 sccm) to see the response

00:38 UTC Increase O3 lamp to 19.8%, some increase in NO2 (~3 ppb) between previous level and the first

01:10 UTC Unplugged power from BLC, NOx dropped ~3 ppb

01:22 UTC Plugged BLC power back in, no change

01:28 UTC Replugged BLC power, lamps back on

01:31 UTC Start zero air

01:38 UTC Resume sampling

2nd HONO test

Results from HONO Testing (6/10/10 ~0335-0535 UTC)

NOy = 23.5 ppbv in 4 slpm (chemiluminescence)
NO = 2.6 ppbv in 4 slpm (chemiluminescence)
NO2 = 2.25 ppbv in 4 slpm (cavity ringdown)
HONO = NOy - NO - NO2 = 18.65 ppbv HONO in 4 slpm
HONO measured by IBBCEAS = 17.8 ppbv in 4 slpm

filter change

changed filters on NO/NOx, SO2, and O3 while feeding NO cal to Bro's inlet via the inlet cal line.

HONO Cal Test #1

At 20:08 LT to 21:05 LT (03:08 -04:05 UT) spiked zero air flow (4 lpm) with approximately 20 cc/min of HONO cal. Looked like HONO cal flow had some NO and NO2 in it.

Also saw flow drop rapidly over time. Patrick thinks that needs to swap out critical orifice for MFC. Going to do that and then re-try this on Monday night.

Changed NO/NO2, Ozone, SO2 teflon filters

At 02:59 UT (19:59 LT) changed all three filters. Only took 2 minutes.

All three filters are very dirty. Probably should change the next batch sooner.
