Let me introduce you to TORM, the total ozone reactivity monitor
An important part of my Academy Research Fellow project (2017-2022) funded by Academy of Finland was the development of an instrument to measure total ozone (O3) reactivity. The paper describing the method we use, based on an idea by Dr. Detlev Helmig, and developed together with his group, has just been published in Atmospheric Measurement Techniques . At the time of my proposal submission in 2016, there had been only one publication on the topic of total O3 reactivity measurement by Prof. Jun Matsumoto (Waseda University, Tokyo, Japan). I was also aware of measurements that had been done by Dr. Helmig's group that had been presented at conferences. This is why I visited Prof. Matsumoto in Tokyo in December 2017 and then went to Boulder CO, U.S.A. , with Anssi Liikanen , in January 2018. Anssi stayed almost two months to work in Dr. Helmig's laboratory, performing many tests on the total O3 reactivity monitor (TORM). Figure 1. Left: TORM at the Toolik Field Station, Alaska
