Balloon-borne limb profiling of UV/vis skylight radiances, O<sub>3</sub>, NO<sub>2</sub>, and BrO: technical set-up and validation of the method

A novel light-weight, elevation scanning and absolutely calibrated UV/vis spectrometer and its application to balloon-borne limb radiance and trace gas profile measurements is described. Its performance and the novel method of balloon-borne UV/vis limb trace gas measurements has been tested against...
