CAMEX-4 Dual-Beam UV-Absorption Ozone Photometer

Entry ID: c4eo3p

Summary

Abstract: Ozone is measured in situ using a photometer consisting of a mercury
lamp, two sample chambers that can be peridically scrubbed of ozone,
and two detectors that measure the 254-nm radiation transmitted
through the chamber from the lamp. The ozone number density is
calculated using the ozone absorption cross-section at 254-nm and the
Beer-Lambert Law. The one second data collection rate the minimum
detectable concentration of ozone (one sigma) is 1.5 x 1010
molecules/cm3.
