Short summary
We designed and built a spectrometer, ABsolute Carbon dioxide (ABC), to measure atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide. This instrument was tested in a forest environment for almost a year. Based on results from this long-term field deployment, we proved that ABC has the capability of performing high-accuracy, unattended, continuous field measurements with minimal use of reference gas cylinders.
