| Abstract: | The long-path differential optical absorption spectroscopy (LP-DOAS) technique was developed to measure
nighttime atmospheric nitrate radical (NO3) concentrations. An optimized retrieval method, resulting in a small
residual structure and low detection limits, was developed to retrieve NO3. The time series of the NO3 concentration
were collected from 17 to 24 March, 2006, where a nighttime average value of 15.8 ppt was observed. The interfering
factors and errors are also discussed. These results indicate that the DOAS technique provides an essential tool for
the quantification of NO3 concentration and in the study of its effects upon nighttime chemistry. |
