 The overwhelming need for atmospheric measurements in the UV-Vis is to obtain improved cross-sections of ozone using FTS measurements; particular care has to be paid to avoid baseline uncertainties which are a major source of systematic errors in such measurements.  Wavelength coverage of 240–1000 nm is required, at 0.01 nm spectral resolution or better.  Absolute intensities should be accurate to at least 2% through the Hartley–Huggins and Chappuis bands.  Vacuum wavelength accuracy: better than nm, reflecting the accuracy to which atmospheric spectra can be calibrated using correlation with the Fraunhofer spectrum.  Measurements should be made over the 180–300 K temperature range. *J.Orphal, K.Chance.Ultraviolet and visible absorption cross-sections for HITRAN Journal of Quantitative Spectroscopy & Radiative Transfer 82 (2003) 491–504 17
