Mass spectrometry
Resolve volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds with fast PTR/SRI time-of-flight systems.
Measurement science
Resolve the atmosphere
at process scale.
Fast chemical instruments, turbulence measurements, spectroscopy and reproducible analysis workflows make direct exchange observations possible.
A measurement ecosystem
A measurement ecosystem
No single instrument can resolve the coupling of emissions, chemistry and transport. APC combines mass spectrometry, gas analysers, aerosol sizing, sonic anemometry, radiation measurements and ground-based spectroscopy with reproducible analysis workflows.
Research questions
What we want to resolve.
These questions connect source attribution, process understanding and quantitative observation.
Eddy covariance
Derive direct turbulent fluxes by combining high-frequency scalar and vertical-wind observations.
Spectroscopy and remote sensing
Measure trace gases in situ and as atmospheric columns with complementary optical techniques.
Quality and reproducibility
Use calibration, lag determination, spectral analysis, quality flags and documented processing to make results defensible.
Working principle
Instrumentation becomes scientific infrastructure when calibration, metadata, processing and long-term stewardship are designed together.
