05.22.24 -- Measurements Of Multiple Greenhouse Gases Using Novel Laser Absorption Based Analyzers

Scientists concerned with climate change study the origins and effects of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere – gases that trap heat and cause a rise in global temperatures. Carbon dioxide generated by the burning of fuels is a well-known greenhouse gas. Another greenhouse gas is methane (CH₄). In fact, methane has about 20 times more heat-trapping capability than equal amounts of carbon dioxide.
