These technique requires These technique requires knowledge knowledge of reference spectrum and the absorption of reference spectrum and the absorption spectra of atmospheric species. For the spectra of atmospheric species. For the case of direct solar spectra measurements case of direct solar spectra measurements the reference spectrum is extraterrestrial the reference spectrum is extraterrestrial spectrum. spectrum.

path length distribution because it offers path length distribution because it offers important practical advantages: the vertical important practical advantages: the vertical profile of O2 is well known; no other known profile of O2 is well known; no other known absorbers interfere with the O2 A-band absorbers interfere with the O2 A-band absorption and the O2 A-band provides a absorption and the O2 A-band provides a number of absorption lines covering a number of absorption lines covering a suitable dynamic range of opacities in the suitable dynamic range of opacities in the atmosphere.
