Abstract

Surface-based sampling Samples are collected from the one of the two 60m inlet in the PGS shed. A site technician triggers sampling, usually at 2pm local time, every Thursday. Eacl flask (2.5liters) is sampled for about 2 minutes and pressurized to 40 PSI. This system automatically purges the flasks, dries the air sample, and fills the flasks. Aircraft-based sampling Samples are collected from the community inlet for as many as twelve elevations. The pilot triggers sampling when location and latitude have been reached. Each flask (0.75 liters) is sampled for about 2 minutes and pressurized to 40 PSI. The sampler has two components: (1) a rack mounted programmable compressor package (PCP, see picture below) and (2) a programmable flask package (PFP). Prior each flight, the pilot connects a new PFP to the PCP. An automatic test is then performed to check for leaks. After each flight the PFP is sent back to the laboratory for analysis of trace gases.

ARM-LBNL-NOAA Flask Sampler for Carbon Cycle Gases

Dataset Torn, Margaret

Data from ccg-flasks are sampled at the ARM SGP site and analyzed by the NOAA Earth System Research Laboratory (ESRL) as part of the NOAA Cooperative Global Air Sampling Network. Surface samples are collected from a 60m tower at the SGP Central Facility, usually once per week on one afternoon. The aircraft samples are collected approximately weekly from a chartered aircraft, and the collection flight path is centered over the tower where the surface samples are collected. Samples are collected by the ARM/LBNL Carbon Project. CO2 flask data contains measurements of CO2 concentration and CO2 stable isotope ratios (13CO2 andmore »« less

New Generation Flask Sampling Technology Final Report

Technical Report Smith, James

Scientists are turning their focus to the Arctic, site of one of the strongest climate change signals. A new generation of technologies is required to function within that harsh environment, chart evolution of its trace gases and provide new kinds of information for models of the atmosphere. Our response to the solicitation tracks how global atmospheric monitoring was launched more than a half century ago; namely, acquisition of discrete samples of air by flask and subsequent analysis in the laboratory. AOS is proposing to develop a new generation of flask sampling technology. It will enable the new Arctic programs tomore »« less

Changing the Rules on Fuel Export at Sellafield's First Fuel Storage Pond - 12065

Conference Carlisle, Derek

The Pile Fuel Storage Pond (PFSP) was built in 1949/50 to receive, store and de-can fuel and isotopes from the Windscale Piles. Following closure of the Piles in 1957, plant operations were scaled down until fuel processing eventually ceased in 1962. The facility has held an inventory of metal fuel both from the Piles and from other programmes since that time. The pond is currently undergoing remediation and removal of the fuel is a key step in that process, unfortunately the fuel export infrastructure on the plant is no longer functional and due to the size and limited lifting capability,more »« less
