Abstrakt: An instrument based on 20 m open-path incoherent broadband cavity-enhanced absorption spectroscopy (IBBCEAS) was established at the Jülich SAPHIR chamber in Spring 2011. The setup was optimized for the detection of HONO and NO2 in the near UV region 352–386 nm, utilizing a bright hot-spot Xe-arc lamp and a UV-enhanced CCD detector. A 2s detection limit of 26 pptv for HONO and 76 pptv for NO2 was achieved for an integration time of 1 min. Methacrolein has also been detected at mixing ratios below 5 ppbv. The IBBCEAS instrument’s performance for HONO and NO2 detection was compared to that of extractive wet techniques, long-path absorption photometry (LOPAP) and chemiluminescence spectrometry (CLS) NOx detection, respectively.
