Abstract

GOMOS is a medium resolution spectrometer designed to measure the concentrations of, and monitor the trends in, ozone and other atmospheric trace gases with very high accuracy. In addition, it can measure atmospheric turbulence, which is of interest for understanding the vertical exchange of energy between the lower and upper layers of the Earth's atmosphere. GOMOS offers global coverage in a broad spectral range, extending from ultraviolet to the near-infrared.
