In-situ measurements of chemically and radiatively important atmospheric gases from the Advanced Global Atmospheric Gas Experiment (AGAGE) and affiliated stations.

In the ALE/GAGE/AGAGE global network program, continuous high frequency gas chromatographic measurements of four biogenic/anthropogenic gases (methane, CH4; nitrous oxide, N2O; hydrogen, H2; and carbon monoxide, CO) and several anthropogenic gases that contribute to stratospheric ozone destruction and/or to the greenhouse effect have been carried out at five globally distributed sites for several years. The program, which began in 1978, is divided into three parts associated with three changes in instrumentation: the Atmospheric Lifetime Experiment (ALE), which used Hewlett Packard HP5840 gas chromatographs; the Global Atmospheric Gases Experiment (GAGE), which used HP5880 gas chromatographs; and the present Advanced GAGE (AGAGE). AGAGE uses two types of instruments: a gas chromatograph with multiple detectors (GC-MD), and a gas chromatograph with mass spectrometric analysis (GC-MS). Beginning in January 2004, an improved cryogenic preconcentration system (Medusa) replaced the absorption-desorption module in the GC-MS systems at Mace Head and Cape Grim; this provided improved capability to measure a broader range of volatile perfluorocarbons with high global warming potentials. The Medusa GC-MS systems were subsequently used at other AGAGE stations (Trinidad Head, Barbados, American Samoa, Zeppelin, Jungfraujoch, and Goan) after the initial setup at Mace Head and Cape Grim.

Nanosecond Breakdown Characteristics of C 4 F 7 N and Various Mixtures at Pressures Above 1 Atmosphere in Comparison with SF 6

This report evaluates the pulsed breakdown performance of C 4 F 7 N under a 6.8 kV/ns voltage excitation. The pulsed dielectric strength of C 4 F 7 N is compared to SF 6 in the same experimental setup, and it is found that C 4 F 7 N concentrations of 50% or greater are required to achieve a dielectric strength greater than or equal to SF 6 . Pure C 4 F 7 N demonstrated higher electric field hold-off for longer time periods and less statistical variance under pulsed conditions when compared to SF 6 . Mixtures of 50%C 4 F 7 N with N 2 or CO 2 as buffer gases showed no appreciable difference in pulsed dielectric strength.

A Comparison of Measurements from ATMOS and Instruments Aboard the ER-2 Aircraft: Halogenated Gases

We compare the mixing rations of N 2 O, CFC-11, CFC-12, CCI 4 , SF 6 , and HCI in the mid-latitude stratosphere measured by the ATMOS Fourier transform spectrometer with in situ measurements acquired aboard the NASA ER-2 aircraft during November 1994. Good agreement is found between ATMOS and in situ correlations of CFC-11, CFC-12, and SF 6 with N 2 O. ATMOS observations of CCI 4 are approx. 15 percent higher than the ER-2 data, but within the systematic uncertainties.
