Electrochemical sensors on board a Zeppelin NT: in-flight evaluation of low-cost trace gas measurements

Abstract: Abstract. In this work, we used a Zeppelin NT equipped with six sensor setups, each composed of four different low-cost electrochemical sensors (ECSs) to measure nitrogen oxides (NO and NO2), carbon monoxide, and Ox (NO2+O3) in Germany. Additionally, a MIRO MGA laser absorption spectrometer was installed as a reference device for in-flight evaluation of the ECSs. We report not only the influence of temperature on the NO and NO2 sensor outputs but also find a shorter timescale (1 s) dependence of the sensors on… Show more

“…During these two days, a multicopter system composed of a drone and a set of low-cost air quality monitoring instruments was used to carry out vertical profile measurements of air pollutants during the early morning hours.Among the instruments loaded in the multicopter, electrochemical sensors were used to monitor nitrogen oxide (NO), and a Personal Ozone Monitor (POM) was employed for assessing ozone (O3). The feasibility of using these sensors for measurements in the planetary boundary layer was discussed in (Schuldt et al, 2023;Tillmann et al, 2022). A detailed description of the development, technical characteristics, and calibration of the multicopter system can be found in Bretschneider et al (2022).…”
