| Zusammenfassung |
| We present the concept of a system which includes an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) and a compact UV-VIS spectrometer for Differential Optical Absorption Spectroscopy (DOAS) observations. The system uses a whiskbroom scanning geometry to map the surface NO2 field. We present the technical aspects of the payload, the inversion strategy, and simulated NO2 maps which are expected to be obtained from the system given instrument noise, aircraft altitude and speed.
The aim of this experiment is to achieve a spatial resolution of a few hundred meters for a typical flight of 1 hour, covering 20x20 km2. Such measurements would be useful for satellite validation and air quality models |
