abstract = {Some ultra trace gas species present in the upper
troposphere and lower stratosphere(UTLS) region at low
part-per-billion and part-per-trillion mixing ratios are
known to havea major effect on atmospheric chemistry and
climate. Chlorine and bromine species causingstrong ozone
depletion and sulfur dioxide (SO$_{2}$) driving aerosol
formation processes of high relevance to the global
radiative budget are prominent examples. Nitric acid
(HNO$_{3}$)is another species, which is quite important for
particle formation and denitrification processes. In order
to fully understand and reliably model the involved
processes for climatepredictions, spatially highly resolved
in-situ measurements of these species are needed. Therefore
robust instruments are required that can perform very
sensitive and accuratemeasurements of ultra-trace species in
the extremely challenging UTLS environment from balloons or
favorably high-flying aircraft, which impose stringent
mechanical and electrical constraints. Here I describe the
set-up, test, characterization, deployment, data analysis,
and preliminary results of the new FunMass instrument
tailored to the deployment on the high-flyingresearch
aircraft M-55 Geophysica. FunMass utilizes the established
techniques of chemical ionization mass spectrometry (CIMS)
in an unprecedented package pairing measurementsensitivity
and accuracy with high versatility at reasonable
instrumental weight and dimensions. FunMass was set up based
on a laboratory prototype [1]: the concept of its
transferstage with an ion funnel and its dielectric barrier
discharge (DBD) ion source was adapted for the airborne
version of the instrument. The ion funnel improves the
sensitivity of the instrument at least by one order of
magnitude and the DBD ion source is an excellent replacement
for the logistically very challenging radioactive ion
source, which is widely used for CIMS. A big advantage of
the TOF-MS technique for airborne measurements is that it is
capable of fast and simultaneous acquisition of full mass
spectra and therefore measurements of many different ion
species, which is very important since flight hours of
research aircraft are a very limited resource [...]},
