O3 Total Column
Measurement Instruments
Measurement Definition: 2D field of total amount of O3 molecules per unit area in an atmospheric column extending from the Earth’s surface to the upper edge of the atmosphere (Dobson units) - Measuring Units [ DU ], Dobson Unit, for total column (1 DU = 2.69٠1020 molecules/m2) - Accuracy unit: [DU]
