O3 and NO2 vertical columns using SAOZ UV-Visible spectrometer

This chapter presents an overview of ground-based SAOZ spectrometer for measurements of O3 and NO2 total vertical columns. Due to instrument conception (zenith measurement in the Visible), the SAOZ is the only instrument that could measure continuously and at all latitudes up to the polar circle in...

Due to instrument conception (zenith measurement in the Visible), the SAOZ is the only instrument that could measure continuously and at all latitudes up to the polar circle in winter.
