HOxCOMP

Intercomparison campaign of OH/HO₂ instruments

Within the frame of the integration task on "Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC)" a workshop was held at Forschungszentrum Jülich on 27-28 September 2004 to prepare a comprehensive instrument intercomparison campaign of OH/HO2 instruments (not RO2/HO2 instruments) at the atmosphere simulation chamber SAPHIR. The workshop objectives were:

• Bring together the world-wide OH/HO₂ radical measurement community.
• Discuss the experiments to be performed during a comprehensive instrument intercomparison campaign in Jülich next year.

• Learn about the SAPHIR chamber as a new tool to perform instrument intercomparisons under controlled atmospheric conditions. The intercomparison campaign HOxCOMP 2005 is sheduled for June to July 2005.
