At a site near Boulder, Colorado, simultaneous atmospheric measurements were made of NO, NO/sub x/, and NO/sub y/ in a field intercomparison of instruments involving two currently employed techniques of NO/sub x/ and NO/sub y/ measurement. Both NO/sub y/ instruments depended upon the reduction of the NO/sub y/ species of NO with detection by chemiluminescence, but difference catalysts were employed for the reduction. Several times during the intercomparison the response to calibrated samples of reference compounds NO, NO/sub 2/, PAN, HNO/sub 3/, n-propyl nitrate (NPN), and NH/sub 3/ was measured. The two NO instruments agreed on NO mixing ratios that were measured during the daytime hours over a range from the limits of detection to 35 parts ber billion by volume (p.p.b.v.). The two NO/sub y/ instruments gave similar estimates of NO/sub y/ in ambient air over a wide range of mixing ratios (0.4-10 p.p.b.v.). The ferrous sulfate converter used for NO/sub x/ detection showed a significant interference from NPN and PAN.
