This dataset contains Meteoric Ablation Simulator (MASI) sodium and nickel ablation experimental data, where samples were heated in vacuum chamber with Na and Ni and detected by laser induced fluorescence. The data are Laser induced fluorescence (LIF) profiles of Ni and Na from ablating particles (powdered meteorite or meteorite proxy). This experiment was undertaken as part of Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) First study of the global Nickel and Aluminium Layers in the upper atmosphere (NIALL) project (NE/P001815/1). This project aimed to make the first ever study of Ni and Al chemistry in the mesosphere/lower thermosphere.

This dataset contains measurements of formaldehyde using laser induced fluorescence (LIF) made at the Institute of Atmospheric Physics land station (IAP), Beijing site during the winter and summer campaigns for the Atmospheric Pollution & Human Health in a Chinese Megacity (APHH) programme. Formaldehyde concentration measurements in pptv were made using the Leeds Formaldehyde instrument which uses off-resonance laser induced fluorescence at 353 nm to detect ambient formaldehyde. The instrument was calibrated at regular intervals during the campaign using a commercial permatube containing paraformaldehyde.
