Abstract
Very high resolution infrared solar spectra have been collected from Mauna Loa Observatory by a Fourier Transform Spectrometer (FTS) system. Observations have been made every Wednesday morning (weather permitting) since November, 1991, by the staff of the Observatory, which is operated by the Climate Monitoring and Diagnostics Laboratory of NOAA. The instrument currently covers two spectral regions: 800 to 1200 cm−1 and 2800 to 3200 cm−1. Many atmospheric gases have absorptions in these regions which can be used to recover abundance information. Both regions include absorptions due to ozone. For this study, regions near 1146 and 1163 cm−1 have been fitted to recover ozone columns.
