Synthetic Zero Air Reference Material for High Accuracy Greenhouse Gas Measurements

Abstract: The purity analysis of zero air is a significant contributor to the uncertainty in preparing reference materials of high impact greenhouse gases, limiting progress toward coherent and comparable measurements required to assess climate trends. We have produced a commutable synthetic zero air reference material with an oxygen, nitrogen, and argon matrix closely matching atmospheric composition. This is the critical step in preventing systematic biases from pressure broadening effects when using these reference m… Show more

“…Two approaches were used to quantify the amount fraction of nitrous oxide in the matrix gas. The first involved a standard addition method. ,, A high-accuracy dilution device, developed at the NPL, referred to as the adjustable gas standard (AGS), was used to spike the matrix gas under test with known amounts of nitrous oxide. The AGS produced seven mixtures with dilution ratios between nominal values of 1:350 and 1:2000.…”

“…The data demonstrates that the internal passivation process causes negligible changes to the 355 N2O analyser response for amount fraction with changes in cylinder pressure. The water vapour content of similar mixtures in synthetic air was measured to be around 0.5 µmol mol -1 (Hill-Pearce et al, 2018).…”

“…The characterisation of the CRDS for reported delta values with N2O amount fraction was assessed with both statically and dynamically generated reference materials. Dynamic reference materials were produced in the amount fraction range 150-1100 nmol mol -1 by dilution from a nominally 320 µmol mol -1 N2O in synthetic air reference material with synthetic air using a dynamic dilution device comprising one diluent and three standard critical flow orifices (Hill-Pearce et al, 2018 and dynamic reference materials were generated alternately for 4 iterations, with synthetic air measured between each set. Due to the large number of measurements recorded, a reduced sampling time of 5 minutes was adopted for each measurement interval resulting in a slightly lower standard deviation of 0.03 nmol mol -1 for amount fractions.…”
