Brief Description (Abstract):

The monitoring of trace species such as water vapour, ozone etc. is of great significance for understanding the Physics, Chemistry and radiation budget of the atmosphere. The water vapour being highly variable constituent in the atmosphere with temperature, space and time, its measurement plays a great role in the study of many atmospheric processes, such as weather, climate, infrared astronomy, cloud physics communication, etc. A highly sophisticated and microprocessor based compact sun photometer consisting of five filter channels at 300, 305, 312, 940 and 1020 nm was used to measure water vapour and ozone in addition to various other parameters such as UV-B radiation, near IR radiation, aerosol optical depth etc. The measurements were made on the way from Goa, India (15?24' N, 73? 42'E) to Maitri, Antarctica (70 deg 46' S, 11 deg45' E)on Polar Bird (Norwegian ship) during December 1996- March 1997.

Status: Completed

Purpose: The measurements were made on the way from Goa, India (15 deg 24 N, 73 deg 42 E) to Maitri, Antarctica (70 deg 6 S, 11 deg 45 E) on Polar Bird (Norwegian Ship) to study the latitudinal distribution or these parameters during December 1996 ? January 1997. The measurements were also made at Goa, Mauritius and Maitri. In the present communication the salient features of the instrument and results obtained are discussed in detail.
