Short summary
Cavity ring-down spectrometers (CRDS) can make accurate measurements of trace gases when the inert gas background is constant but are prone to errors when the background is variable. Here, we report that in one CRDS analyzer (L2120-i, Picarro), these errors result from broadening, narrowing, and shifting of the target absorption lines as well as neighboring lines. New spectral acquisition and analysis strategies are needed to make CRDS measurements robust to variable backgrounds.
