 Differential optical absorption spectroscopy

Differential Optical Absorption Spectroscopy (DOAS) is a remote sensing technique used to measure the concentrations of trace gases in the atmosphere. The method is based on the analysis of the absorption spectrum of light as it passes through a volume of air containing the target gases. Here are key components and concepts associated with DOAS: 1. **Optical Absorption**: Different gases absorb light at specific wavelengths.
