Summary
Abstract: ABSTRACT: The Solar Backscatter Ultraviolet Radiometer-2 (SBUV/2) is an operational remote sensor designed to map, on a global scale, total ozone concentrations and the vertical distribution of ozone in the earth's atmosphere. The 1b Capture Data Set contains (1) all SBUV/2 sensor data and support data necessary for the derivation of atmospheric ozone and solar flux; (2) instrument in-flight ... View entire text

Purpose: PURPOSE: For ozone research users. Knowledge of the temporal and spatial distribution of atmospheric ozone is important since ozone strongly absorbs solar ultraviolet energy and prevents this harmful radiation from reaching the earth's surface.
