LI-COR Launches AtmospherIQ™ Gas Analyzers: Scalable, High-Precision Monitoring for Global Atmospheric Networks

LINCOLN, Neb., Oct. 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- LI-COR announces the launch of the AtmospherIQ™ Gas Analyzers, a new generation of instruments designed for exceptional accuracy, long-term stability, and ease of use.

Built to meet the growing need for reliable atmospheric monitoring, AtmospherIQ Gas Analyzers provide world-class performance at lower cost, offering a breakthrough in scalability for expanding city, regional, and national networks while reducing installation and operating burdens.

The AtmospherIQ optical bench has been independently evaluated by the ICOS Atmosphere Thematic Centre (ATC), Laboratoire des Sciences du Climat et de l'Environnement (LSCE), Paris. Results confirm compliance with World Meteorological Organization Global Atmosphere Watch (WMO GAW) and ICOS specifications, verifying precision, stability, and other key specifications.

Atmospheric monitoring networks play a crucial role in tracking greenhouse gas concentrations, supporting climate research, and guiding policy at both national and international levels. These programs rely on precise, continuous, and compatible measurements to compare data across continents and build a consistent picture of global change.

At the same time, city-scale monitoring is becoming increasingly valuable as urban areas account for the majority of global emissions. Expanding local networks provides city leaders with the data needed to design evidence-based climate strategies, improve air quality, and measure the success of mitigation efforts.

Historically, deploying atmospheric monitoring systems has been costly and difficult to scale. AtmospherIQ Gas Analyzers deliver equivalent performance to recognized standards with innovations that make them simpler and more affordable to own and operate.

"With AtmospherIQ, we're enabling atmospheric networks to expand faster and more cost-effectively than ever before," said Tom Reslewic, CEO of LI-COR. "This technology unlocks scalability at city, regional, and national levels, supporting climate science, greenhouse gas monitoring, and environmental policy initiatives worldwide."
