The laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) detector with a thermal converter has been developed for measuring atmospheric N2O5. The detection limit for N2O5was 11pptv for 10-min averaging (S/N=2, [NO2]=0). The field measurements of N2O5were conducted in the urban atmosphere in winter. N2O5was successfully monitored during four nights. Typically, observed N2O5level was in the range of 0–200pptv. Note that N2O5reached 800pptv at one night, when NOxlevel was extremely high and the temperature was low. After the data were selected by the stability of NOx, N2O5chemistry was discussed for a representative case of the urban night. Observed trend of N2O5was compared with the theoretically predicted one. The heterogeneous loss rate of N2O5on the aerosol surfaces was estimated as 5.2×10−4s−1. Consequently, it was confirmed that N2O5loss was critical for NOxbudget in the urban atmosphere in winter, in comparison with NOxloss via NO3. The LIF instrument proved to be useful for studying nocturnal chemistry of N2O5in the source region.
