Abstract

UV-visible absorption measurement techniques using several horizone viewing directions in addition to the traditional zenith-sky pointing have been recently developed in ground-based remote sensing of atmospheric constituents. The spatial distribution of various trace gases close to the instrument can be derived by combing several viewing directions. Multi-axis differential optical absorption spectroscopy (MAX-DOAS) technique, one of the remote sensing techniques for air quality measurements, uses the scattered sunlight as a light source and measures it at various elevation angles (corresponding to the viewing directions) by sequential scanning with a stepper motor. A MAX-DOAS system developed by GIST/ADEMRC has been applied to measuring trace gases in urban air and plumes of the volcano and fossil fuel power plant in January, May, and October 2004, respectively. MAX-DOAS spectra were analyzed to identify and quantify $SO_2,\;NO_2,\;BrO,\;and\;O_4$ (based on Slant Column Densities, SCD) in the urban air, volcanic plume, and fossil fuel power plant utilizing theirs specific structured absorption features in the UV-visible region. Vertical scan through the multiple elevation angles was performed at different directions perpendicular to the plume dispersion to retrieve cross-sectional distribution of $SO_2\;or\;NO_2$ in the plumes of the volcano and fossil fuel power plant. Based on the estimated cross sections of the plumes the mixing ratios were estimated to 580 $SO_2$ ppbv in the volcanic Plume, and 337 $NO_2\;and\;227\;SO_2$ ppbv in the plume of the fossil fuel power plant, respectively.

태양광을 광원으로 하고 천정방향을 포함한 다양한 고도각을 이용하는 자외선/가시광선영역에서의 흡수분광학이 최근에 지상용 대기원격 측정에 개발되어오고 있다. 이를 이용하여 지표부근에 존재하는 대기 미량 물질의 공간적 분포가 유추될 수 있다. 대기질 측정기술 중 하나인 MAX-DOAS (Multi-axis Differential Optical Absorption Spectroscopy) 기술은 광원으로서 태양산란광을 이용하고, 다양한 고도각에서 태양산란광을 기록하고 분석을 통하여 대기 중 미량 물질을 측정한다. 광주과학기술원 환경모니터링 신기술 연구센터에서 개발된 MAX-DOAS 시스템은 9004년 1월, 5월, 10월에 각각 도시대기, 화산플룸, 화력발전소 플룸의 측정에 적용되었다. 각각의 경우에 $SO_2,\;NO_2,\;BrO,\;O_4$를 정량분석하기 위하여 기록된 MAX-DOAS 스펙트럼은 자외선/가시광선 영역에서의 고유 흡수스펙트럼을 이용한 DOAS 기술을 이용하여 분석 되었다. 그 결과는 Slant Column Density (SCD)로 표현되었다. 플룸 측정의 경우에서는 플룸 속에 포함된 $NO_2,\;SO_2$의 공간적 분포를 파악하기 위하여 플룸의 진행방향과 수직적인 방향에서 MAX-DOAS 스캔이 이루어졌다. 이를 통하여 얻은 단면적을 토대로 $SO_2,\;NO_2$ 농도가 계산되었다. 화산플룸에서 $SO_2$는 580ppbv, 화력발전소 플룸에서 $NO_2$는 337ppbv, $SO_2$는 227ppbv 로 계산되었다.
