Within the framework of IAGOS, several projects for the realization of IAGOS infrastructure were carried out at the MPI-BGC under the leadership of Dr. Christoph Gerbig starting in 2005. In particular, the team developed the system for the simultaneous detection of the greenhouse gases carbon dioxide (CO₂₎, methane (CH₄), carbon monoxide (CO) and water for continuous application on airliners. more
