abstract = {Two aircraft instruments for the measurement of total odd
nitrogen (NOy) were compared side by side aboard a Learjet
A35 in April 2003 during a campaign of the AFO2000 project
SPURT ( Spurengastransport in der Tropopausenregion). The
instruments albeit employing the same measurement principle
( gold converter and chemiluminescence) had different inlet
configurations. The ECOPhysics instrument operated by
ETH-Zurich in SPURT had the gold converter mounted outside
the aircraft, whereas the instrument operated by FZ-Julich
in the European project MOZAIC III ( Measurements of ozone,
water vapour, carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides aboard
Airbus A340 in-service aircraft) employed a Rosemount probe
with 80 cm of FEP-tubing connecting the inlet to the gold
converter. The NOy concentrations during the flight ranged
between 0.3 and 3 ppb. The two data sets were compared in a
blind fashion and each team followed its normal operating
procedures. On average, the measurements agreed within
$7\%,$ i.e. within the combined uncertainty of the two
instruments. This puts an upper limit on potential losses of
HNO3 in the Rosemount inlet of the MOZAIC instrument. Larger
transient deviations were observed during periods after
calibrations and when the aircraft entered the stratosphere.
The time lag of the MOZAIC instrument observed in these
instances is in accordance with the time constant of the
MOZAIC inlet line determined in the laboratory for HNO3.},
