Abstract
Ultraviolet and visible spectrometers using photodiode array detectors have been developped for atmospheric trace species measurements by both passive -solar and zenith sky -and active-lamps-methods. Designed at first for ozone and nitrogen dioxide measurements the technique can be applied to other trace species. Results obtained from balloon during the international comparisons campaign MAP/GLOBUS NOX in 1985, show that this technique compares favorably with other methods. It should allow in the future low cost stratospheric and tropospheric chemistry monitoring.
