The CIGAR:

  • •Chemical Ionization Mass Spectrometer
  • Based on reaction of PA radicals with I-
  • Fast (time resolution 0.25 – 2 seconds)
  • Sensitive (10-60 cts/pptv on background of 250 cts or less)
  • Very selective
  • Autonomous (no operator on aircraft required)
  • Eight different PAN species measured during ICARTT 2004
