The AMON Instrument: Absorption by the Minor components Ozone and NOx

The AMON mission

AMON is a UV-visible spectrometer which can be carried under stratospheric balloons, designed to obtain vertical profiles of ozone, nitrogen and chlorine molecules and the coefficient of aerosol extinction, at altitudes between 15 and 40 km. AMON data have been used for the ENVISAT validation campaigns.
