Lucy Carpenter opened a general discussion of the paper by Steven Brown: What advances in cavity enhanced spectroscopy have been made in the last decade, and what can we expect to see over the next ten years which might improve sensitivity and performance even further?Steven Brown responded: CES based instruments that are wavelength resolved and that can mimic the capabilities of long path differential optical absorption spectroscopy (DOAS) or remote sensing instruments are an important advance. Such instruments are already more than a decade into their development, however, and so represent an ongoing advance rather than a truly new horizon. With respect to the nitrogen oxide instrument described in my paper (DOI: 10.1039/C7FD00001D), the sensitivity is nearly competitive with state of the art chemiluminescence instruments. For the suite of NO, NO2, NOy and O3, the NOAA CRDS instrument has the advantage of small size, low power consumption, reduced vacuum requirements and reduced HazMat requirements. The added advantage is a combined instrument that can also measure NO3 and N2O5 in the same package and with a single calibration standard for all measured trace gases. Disadvantages of CRDS for these six trace gases include:(1) reduced performance for NO, which is measured by difference, relative to chemiluminescence,(2) dri s in the background that require frequent zeroing,(3) further work is required to characterize the NOy conversion scheme relative to the standard currently used in chemiluminescence detectors, and (4) wall loss for NO3.
