DESENVOLVIMENTO DE METODOLOGIA PARA VALIDAÇÃO E ANÁLISE DE DADOS DE DIÓXIDO DE ENXOFRE (SO2) ATMOSFÉRICO SOBRE O CONTINENTE SUL-AMERICANO

This work describes the development of a methodology for validating the use of Brewer spectrophotometer for measuring the SO 2 total columns, from adaptations in its original calculation algorithm. The results obtained show the possibility of using Brewer spectrophotometer to measure the total columns of sulfur dioxide, with a gain in data quality, of great help to understand the behavior of this gas in the atmosphere with observations that can be used for model validation and calibration of satellites.
