Existing instruments for measuring atmospheric
profiles of carbon dioxide can be very sensitive, but are all large and bulky
and must be flown using aircraft or large, research gondolas. This work reports on the development of a
stand-alone, lightweight CO2 sensor for use on balloon sondes. This device will have sub part-per-million
(ppm) sensitivity and weigh less than 1 kg.
