Measurement of the terrestrial ozone concentration by absorption UV spectroscopy

Journal of Applied Spectroscopy Aims and scope

Abstract

The conditions allowing one to measure the concentration of terrestrial ozone by the open-path DOAS method using a zero line are considered. A technique based on measuring signals at two wavelengths, at least one of which belongs to the ozone absorption UV band, is described. The error of measurements has been estimated. A block-diagram of the optical “open-path” meter for measuring the terrestrial ozone concentration, TrIO-2, is presented.
