About us

metcon inc. (USA) and meteorologieconsult gmbh are environmental consulting companies specialized in:

• Scientific studies of air chemistry and meteorology
• Development and production of air chemistry research instruments

meteorologieconsult gmbh was founded in 1976 in Germany. A selection of scientific papers published by Rainer Schmitt, founder and principal scientist, are provided below. We have been involved in a number of scientific activities over the years, including studies at the GAW-station Izana, Tenerife, in the Canary Islands. We develop and produce radiometer and spectrometer devices to measure actinic fluxes and photolysis frequencies of NO2, NO3. The devices are based on our unique development of an optical inlet system with isotropic 2-pi-characteristics. We also produce special versions of the radiometers and optical inlet systems which are used globally aboard scientific aircraft. We also produce spectral radiometers based on a small high precision double monochromator as well as on a fast spectral radiometer using a static, monolithic monochromator with a diode array detector and a very sensitive and fast CCD-detector.

The other devices we produce are automatic gas chromatographs for the detection of PAN and CH4 and CO2 in the remote clean troposphere. Our PAN device is equipped with a unique and state-of-the-art gasphase calibration unit which does not require the use of super cooled liquids to produce PAN.
