Observations of Carbon Monoxide in Antarctic Troposphere at Maitri, Antarctica.

Access URI: http://data.ncaor.gov.in/newhtml

Brief Description (Abstract):

Observations of carbon monoxide have been made using IR CO analyzer at Maitri, Antarctica during 22nd Indian Scientific Expedition. A diurnal cycle was systematically observed during clear sky condition. The CO concentration was observed higher in daytime sunlight period however; during cloudy day diurnal variation was absent. It has been observed that the CO concentration increases with increase of solar elevation and decline of CO concentration correlated with the drop of the solar radiation. In present communication experimental setup and results obtained are discussed in detail.

Status: Completed

Purpose: The studies at Maitri station were aimed towards the estimation of a complete diurnal variation for CO in the near-surface air in Antarctica.
