Solar Backscatter Ultraviolet Radiometer

Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-009027

An instrument designed to measure the Earth's atmospheric ozone concentration by detecting backscattered ultraviolet radiation from the Sun. It operates by observing the absorption of UV light by ozone at different wavelengths. Data from this radiometer contributes to monitoring the ozone layer and its depletion.
