Description
This is the version 3 Atmospheric Trace Molecule Spectroscopy (ATMOS) Level 1 product containing spectra and runlog (i.e. ) information in a netCDF format. ATMOS is an infrared spectrometer (a Fourier transform interferometer) designed to derive vertical concentrations of various trace gases in the atmosphere, particularly the ozone depleting chlorine and fluorine based molecules. The transmission spectra are ratioed from ATMOS high sun observations, on a scale of 0 to 1. Data files also include time, geolocation and other information.
The data were collected during four space shuttle missions: STS-51B/Spacelab 3 (April 30 to May 1, 1985), STS-45/ATLAS-1 (March 25 to April 2, 1992), STS-55/ATLAS-2 (April 8 to 16, 1993), and STS-66/ATLAS-3 (November 3 to 12, 1994). Data are written to separate files grouped by mission (sl3, at1, at2 or at3), and occultation type (sunrise or sunset) and number.
