The objective of the Indianapolis Flux Experiment (INFLUX) is to develop, evaluate and improve methods for measuring greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from cities. INFLUX's scientific objectives are to quantify CO2 and CH4 emission rates at 1 km2 resolution

The North-East Corridor project aims to use a top-down inversion method to quantify sources of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions in the urban areas of, in the first phase, Washington DC and Baltimore at approximately 1km2 resolutions. Since inversion methods

We present a new cavity ring-down spectroscopy system which was developed for variable-temperature absorption measurements (220 K- 290 K) of atmospheric gases. This laser spectrometer was developed in the framework of the NASA Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2
Three grid-connected monocrystalline silicon photovoltaic arrays have been instrumented with research-grade sensors on the Gaithersburg, Maryland campus of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). These arrays range from 73 kW to 271 kW

Three-dimensional (3-D) printing is finding applications across many areas and may be a useful technology for antenna fabrication for cube satellites (CubeSats). However, the quality of an antenna produced using 3-D printing must be considered if this

The Seabird Tissue Archival and Monitoring Project (STAMP) has banked over 1900 seabird eggs collected from Alaska since 1999. Common and thick-billed murres (Uria aalge and U. lomvia) make ideal biomonitors as abundant, circumpolar, essentially non

The Indianapolis Flux Experiment (INFLUX) aims to use a top-down inversion methodology to quantify sources of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions over an urban domain with high spatial and temporal resolution. Analyzing the contribution of different source

Photoacoustic spectroscopy measurements of flame-generated soot aerosol coated with small amounts of water yielded absorption enhancements that were dependent on the laser used: quasi- continuous wave (Q-CW, ≈ 650 ps pulse duration and 78 MHz repetition

Accurate flow measurements are essential to quantify the amount of greenhouse gases (GHGs) and other pollutants emitted from power plant stacks. Although protocols have been developed, the uncertainty of stack flow measurements has not been documented.
The eye-safe transmitter of a ground-based, integrated path differential absorption (IPDA) LIDAR (light detection and ranging) system is described and specified in detail. The transmitter is based on an actively stabilized, continuous-wave, single
