Abstract
A microprocessor controlled quartz tube flow reactor, based on the OH radical oxidation of 14co, has been developed to measure tropospheric OH concentrations. When used with low level gas proportional counting, the instrument has the potential to measure OH concentrations less than 105 cm- 3. The initial trials of this instrument during the GTE instrument intercom parisons at Wallops Island yielded concentrations comparable to those measured by the laser-induced fluorescence techniques, despite an unexpected background signal attributed to impurities in the radiochemical tracer.
