7 Top Tools Scientists Use to Measure Greenhouse Gases in the Field
To accurately measure greenhouse gases (GHGs) in the field, scientists primarily rely on four categories of tools: nondispersive infrared (NDIR) spectroscopy, cavity ring-down spectroscopy (CRDS), flux-based instruments like eddy covariance towers and flux chambers, and remote sensing platforms including satellites and drones. Each method leverages the unique way GHG molecules absorb specific wavelengths of infrared … Read more
