Summary

Abstract: In English:
During this project's lifetime, Ozone and NO2 atmospheric contents have been
measured daily at twilight. The required spectrometers were developed at INTA
and an agreement between INTA and DNA/IAA allowed its deployment at the
Antarctica (1994). The three devices have been installed at three different
stations: Belgrano II (Continental Antarctica 78"S, 35"W), Marambio (Antarctic

Quality The spectrophotometer measurements are on the NDACC ftp site. The nitrogen dioxide measurements have been added to the database at Lauder.

Data is held internally by NIWA and in the NDACC database. "Raw" data are times and recorded spectra of scattered light. "Derived" data are column amount of NO2 and ozone.

Please contact the investigators for more information or Paul Johnston/Karin Kreher for information in regards to the instruments.
