Notice Title

MaxDOAS Instruments

Notice Description

Supply, installation and maintenance of three MAX-DOAS 2D instruments.

Lot Information

Lot 1

The University (The Buyer) invites competitive tenders for supply, installation and technical services in relation to MAXDOAS Instrument x 3. The Field Spectroscopy Facility has a budget to acquire three spectroscopic, remote sensing instruments to measure the slant column densities of a number of atmospheric pollutants over a mega-city urban area. The primary aim is to take slant column density measurements of the trace gas nitrogen dioxide (NO2), with simultaneous measurements of the trace gases formaldehyde (HCHO) and ozone (O3) by the same instrument. The instruments are to be used as part of a network, consisting of three nodes, with each node hosting one of the three instruments. The nodes, and therefore the instruments, will be situated on the rooftops of buildings within the selected urban area. The campaign will last for one year initially, with a further three years planned, with measurements taken continuously and autonomously by the instrument throughout this period. Data from the instrument will be evaluated locally and autonomously, with users accessing data remotely. To take spectroscopic measurements of the vertical column distribution of NO2, with simultaneous measurements of other trace gas species, the Multi Axis Differential Optical Spectroscopy (MAX-DOAS) technique has been identified as proving the most suitable for the research requirements stipulated. Therefore, the Field Spectroscopy Facility seeks to purchase three MAX-DOAS instruments, all of the same model, to fulfil the research goals of the project described.

Renewal: Option to extend for an additional 3 years.
