Comparing different light-emitting diodes as light sources for long path differential optical absorption spectroscopy NO2 and SO2 measurements

Abstract In this paper, we present the comparison of different light-emitting diodes (LEDs) as the light source for long path differential optical absorption spectroscopy (LP-DOAS) atmospheric trace gas measurements. In our study, we use a fiber optic design, where high power LEDs used as the light source are coupled into the telescope using a Y shape fiber bundle. Two blue and a ultraviolet (UV) LEDs with different emission wavelength ranges are tested for NO₂ and SO₂ measurements. The detailed description of the instrumental setup, the NO₂ and SO₂ retrieval procedure, the error analysis, and the preliminary results from the measurements carried out in Science Island, Hefei, Anhui, China are presented. Our first measurement results show that atmospheric NO₂ and SO₂ have strong temporal variations in that area and that the measurement accuracy is strongly dependent on the visibility conditions. The measured NO₂ and SO₂ data are compared to the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) satellite observations. The results show that the OMI NO₂ product underestimates the ground level NO₂ by 45%, while the OMI SO₂ data are highly influenced by clouds and aerosols, which can lead to large biases in the ground level concentrations. During the experiment, the mixing ratios of the atmospheric NO₂ and SO₂ vary from 8 ppbv to 36 ppbv and from 3 ppbv to 18 ppbv, respectively.
