  • Ankie Piters, Marc Allaart, Wesley Sluis, Wytze Lenstra, KNMIRoyal Netherlands Meteorological InstituteMinistry of Infrastructure and EnvironmentAn update on the NO2 sonde

  • ESAs Innovation Triangle InnitiativeProgramme to foster the introduction of breakthrough innovations and technologies for space applications.

    Purpose is to make the NO2 sonde ready for serial production:improve the calibration procedureimprove the designtransfer the knowledge to industryCooperation with GRAW radiosondes to produce the sondeDuration of this project: 15 monthsExternal reviewer/advisor: Michel Van Roozendael, BIRA Aim: user evaluation model end 2013, GRAW product end 2015

  • MAXDOAS retrievals 25 JunePicture from Folkard Wittrock, IUPBNO2 sonde 25 June

  • What happened after CINDI?

  • DISCOVER-AQ campaign 2011, USAaircraft and tethered balloon measurementsNO2 sonde CRDSprofile measured during aircraft descend, 20 Julythanks to: Russ Dickerson (UMD) and Richard Clark (Millersville Univ)

  • PEGASOS campaign May 2012, NetherlandsWeather balloonMarc and Ankie with 2 sondesZeppelin2 MAX-DOAS-sesNOx analyser

  • On-ground comparisons with NOx analyser (BLC)~500 m distanceside-by-side measurementRIVM NOx analyser NO2 sonde 1 min. average of NO2 sondedata: Lou Gast, RIVMbottle #2bottle #1#3Sensitivity of luminol increases with time

  • Next stepsWhat determines/affects sensitivity?Optimise designOptimise calibration procedureTransfer knowledge to GRAW radiosondes

    And also:Analyse DISCOVER-AQ and PEGASOS dataDemonstrate the use for: Model evaluationMAX-DOAS interpretationSatellite validation
