The European Research Infrastructure IAGOS (In-service Aircraft for a Global Observing System; \href{www.iagos.org}{www.iagos.org}) responds to the increasing requests for long-term, routine in-situ observational data by using commercial passenger aircraft as measurement platforms.
The infrastructure is built from two complementary approaches: The "CORE" component comprises the implementation and operation of autonomous instruments installed on up to 20 long-range aircraft of international airlines for continuous measurements of important reactive gases and greenhouse gases, as well as aerosol particles, dust and cloud particles. The fully automated instruments are designed for operation aboard the aircraft in unattended mode for several months and the data are transmitted automatically.
The complementary "CARIBIC" component consists of the monthly deployment of a cargo container equipped with instrumentation for a larger suite of components. The CARIBIC container has equipment for measuring ozone, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, water vapor and airborne particles. Furthermore the container is equipped with a system for collecting air samples. These air samples are analyzed in the laboratory. For each sample measurements for more than 40 trace gases including CFC's prohibited by the Montreal protocol, and all greenhouse gases are performed.
The Interface described in this work is designed to host one of IAGOS CORE (Package2) instruments. Available are:
\begin{itemize}
\item P2a, P2b, measuring \ce{ NO$_y$} and \ce{NO$_x$}
\item P2c, measuring the aerosol size-distribution (0.25 |
