Halogenated gases measurements are performed by a GC-MS analyser (Agilent GC6850/MS5975C) coupled with a preconcentration&thermal desorber unit (Unity2 – Markes Iternational).
A Gas Chromatpgraph-FID (Agilent 6890N ) is used to measure carbon monoxide (CO) strating from January 2008.
A Gas-Chromatograph equipped with an RGD detector to measure carbon monoxide (CO). Measurements started on Jan 2007 with a modified version of a commercial RGD2-Trace Analytical analyser. Measurements ended in March 2010.
A Gas Chromatpgraph-FID (Agilent 6890N ) is used to measure nitrous oxide.
A Gas Chromatpgraph-FID (Agilent 6890N ) is used to measure methane (CH4), carbon monoxide (CO), nitrous oxide (N2O) and sulfur hexafluoride (SF6).
The station is equipped with a probe Temperature and Relative Humidity ( Rotronic MP101A-T4-W4W ).
