  1. Development of PicoSDLA laser sensors for in-situ measurements of CH4,CO2 and H2O in the UTLS in the frame of the TRO-pico project. M. GHYSELS1, J. COUSIN1, N. AMAROUCHE3, L. GOMEZ-MARTIN1, E.

  2. Scientific context • Sources of methane: • Anthropogenic : Fossils fuels production, rice cultivation, biomass burning, waste management, etc… • Natural : Wetland, non-wetland soil, gas hydrates, premafrost, termites, oceans, etc… + 150% More than 50% of methane emission come from human-related activities On per molecule basis, 25 times more efficient radiatively than CO2 molecule M. GHYSELS, GSMA

  3. Water vapor and methane in the stratosphere O3 depletion during winter 2011 In the tropics : Deep convection permits injection of species in the stratosphere by overshooting convection or slow ascent in the TTL Oxidation of CH4 in stratosphere: CH4 + OH CH3 + H2O Methane in stratosphere: source of water vapor Winter at poles: In the stratosphere, PSC formation → Ozone depletion M. GHYSELS, GSMA

  4. TRO-Pico balloon campaign (PI. E. D. Rivière, GSMA) Main Objective :Characterization of overshoots in order to quantify their impact on the hydratation of low stratosphere (regional → global scale) • Cirrus formation, impact of electricallycharged particules on TTL • Validation of satellites measurements of water vapour of IASI/Metop and SAPHIR/Megha-tropiques • Variability of lowstratospherehumidity : regularsounding of water vapour • Launchsfrom Bauru (Brazil, 22°S) • Collaboration: l’IPMet-UNESP M. GHYSELS, GSMA

  5. SDLA spectrometer, optical path lenght : 56m PicoSDLA-CH4 optical path lenght : 3.6 m Development of PicoSDLA-CH4 : scientific objectives PicoSDLA-CH4 ~15 kg : L= 3.6 m SDLA [Durry and G. Megie, (1999)] Total weight ~80 kg, L = 56m • PicoSDLA-CH4 : • Precision <5% • Measurement time reduced: • 10 ms to 1 s (measurementunder parachutes, speed ≈ 15 m.s-1) • Regularsoundingsundersmallmeteorologicalballoons M. GHYSELS, GSMA

  6. Based on direct absorption spectroscopy : F0 F Determination of mixing ratio from Beer-Lambert law : (low absorption hypothesis) Laser Détector S(Tatmos) : Line strenght [cm-1/molec cm-2] φ(Tatmos, Patmos, σ) : Line profile L : Optical path lenght [cm] NCH4 : Number of molecules M. GHYSELS, GSMA

(USA) 20 cm x 12 cm x 2.5 cm, 980g Laser head DFG laser source → access to the R(6) transition of the ν3 band of CH4 (3086 cm-1, 3.24 µm) Strong fundamental band → Reduction of optical path lenght: 56m → 3.6 m In laboratory, determination of spectroscopic parameter (uncertainty <2%) M.

  13. PicoSDLA-CO2 Calibration in laboratory: • Long time measurements (4h) from calibrated mixing of carbon dioxide and dry air • Allan variance : τAllan = 980 s, σAllan = 280 ppbv • Precision ≈ 1ppmv for 1s averaging time Calibrated value : 503.9 ppmv Calculated value : (502.6 ± 2.2) ppmv 4h M. GHYSELS, GSMA

  14. PicoSDLA-CO2 flights Objective : Lack of observations of the CO2 concentration’s decrease throught the UTLS [S. Park et al.
