Spectroscopic measurements of atmospheric gas content: latitudinal distributions, seasonal variations, and long-period trends

The results of spectroscopic measurements of the total vertical column abundance of minor atmospheric components (CO, CH4, C2H6, NO2, O3) are presented. Measurements were carried out in Russia, in the Arctic and Antarctic regions and over the Atlantic Ocean.© (1993) COPYRIGHT SPIE--The International Society for Optical Engineering.
