摘要
A technique for extracting height profiles from ground-based column measurements at twilight is introduced. Its sensitivities to chemical processes, initialization, and air mass factors are investigated. The method is applied to observations made at Lauder, New Zealand, in 1987. The technique provides information on the vertical structure of atmospheric absorbers such as ozone or NO2 from the surface to about 50 km and is particularly valuable for identifying the influence of pollution on such measurements. When tropospheric pollution is low, it yields profiles in reasonable agreement with model predictions and with satellite measurements.
