PAN-COURAGE

Pandora support for COURAGE

23 May 2025 - 30 November 2025

Lead Scientist: Thomas Hanisco

Observatory: AMF (ARM Mobile Facility 1)

We will provide a Pandora spectrometer system to support the COURAGE campaign. The instrument provides remote-sensing measurements of NO2, O3, and HCHO. The instrument will be installed at the COURAGE rural site near Mt. Airy, MD. The instrument will be the rural complement of a Pandora spectrometer at the urban MDE site in Essex, MD.

We will install the instrument at the Mt. Airy site. We will monitor the instrument remotely. We will provide data on the Pandonia Global Network (PGN) site. The NO2 and HCHO measurements will be used to constrain models that calculate ozone production rates.
