AB: Results are presented on time response tests of a chemiluminescence ozone instrument under development for the HIAPER platform. Laboratory tests were conducted in preparation for field testing during the Pacific Atmospheric Sulfur Experiment, which took place in August and September, 2007. Preliminary analysis of field data confirms the instrument has at least a 4-Hz frequency response. Laboratory results indicate the present design is likely capable of detecting even faster transients in the atmospheric ozone field. The impact of instrument design choices on time response will be discussed in detail. Beginning in calendar year 2008, this completed instrument will become available for requestable deployment on NSF LAOF platforms.
