Instrumentation

The ACRG has developed a wide range of instrumentation to measure a wide variety of gases, including the full range of Montreal (ozone depleting) and Kyoto Protocol (global warming) gases.

This instrumentation has subsequently been adopted by the entire Advanced Global Atmospheric Gases Experiment (AGAGE) network.

The group is also engaged in development of instrumentation for new projects and contracts.
