“…CRDS has high temporal and spatial resolution with high sensitivity and accuracy. Cavity-enhanced absorption spectroscopy (CEAS) was proposed later by Fiedler et al (2003) and has been successfully deployed to measure a number of atmospheric trace gas compounds like HONO, H 2 O, IO, O 3 , O 4 , I 2 , IO, OIO, SO 2 , NO 3 , N 2 O 5 , glyoxal (CHOCHO), and methylgloxal (CH 3 COCHO; Washenfelder et al, 2008Washenfelder et al, , 2013Washenfelder et al, , 2016Thalman and Volkamer, 2010;Gherman et al, 2008;Axson et al, 2011;Kahan et al, 2012;Min et al, 2016). The measurement of NO 3 was shown to be successful in simulation chamber conditions with an open-path incoherent broadband CEAS setup (Venables et al, 2006;Varma et al, 2009), and shortly afterwards, the closed cavity type of IBBCEAS was successfully deployed on the ground (Langridge et al, 2008;Benton et al, 2010) and airborne (Kennedy et al, 2011) for measurements of both NO 3 and N 2 O 5 .…”
