The detection limit is defined as (2*Measured RMS) / (Maximum differential absorption cross section), where RMS = root-mean-square noise of spectral signal not accounted for by DOAS fit parameters [optical density units]. The maximum differential absorption cross sections used are 7.0e-21 [cm2] for SO2, 2.6e-17 [cm2] for BrO, and 3.5e-17 [cm2] for IO. Detection limits for SO2 dSCDs, BrO dSCDs, and IO dSCDs are only reported during periods of significant SO2 detection. BrO to SO2 ratios are only reported during periods when both BrO dSCDs and SO2 dSCDs are above the detection limit.

Local time (RET) is UTC+4.
