| Description | Faced with conflicting requirements for measuring total ozone with the Solar Backscatter Ultraviolet Spectrometer/Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (SBUV/TOMS), a recommended strategy is to select three wavelengths: one at the peak of the ozone absorption cross section spectrum, another at a nearby minimum and a third wavelength that lies just outside the absorption spectrum. A pair formed using the first two wavelengths are then used under most observing conditions; another pair formed using the last two wavelengths are used near the terminator. There is no evidence that the use of additional wavelengths provides any benefit for measuring total ozone. Additional wavelengths, however, are necessary if other atmospheric species, such as SO sub 2, need to be measured. |
