SAOZ-BAL: balloon-borne experiments, atmospheric compounds measurements, flight of 19 August 2006

The SAOZ (Systeme d'Analyse par Observation Zenithale) Balloon gondola carries a UV-Visible spectrometer for measuring vertical profiles of O3, NO2 and H2O by solar occultation during ascent of the balloon (or descent) and from float at 30 km during sunset (or sunrise).
The balloon version of the SAOZ instrument is very similar to the one used for ground-based measurements of total ozone and NO2.
This flight is involved in the SCOUT AMMA campaign.

SAOZ（Systeme d'Analyse par Observation Zenithale）气球吊舱搭载紫外可见分光光度计（UV-Visible spectrometer），可在气球上升（或下降）阶段，以及30公里高度驻留期间，通过日落（或日出）时段的太阳掩星法，测量臭氧（O₃）、二氧化氮（NO₂）与水汽（H₂O）的垂直廓线。该SAOZ仪器的气球搭载版本，与用于地基总臭氧及二氧化氮测量的版本高度相似。本次飞行隶属于SCOUT AMMA观测计划。
