Spectromètre GOMOS (Global Ozone Monitoring by Occultation of Stars). Cet ensemble de deux caméras spectrométriques en ultraviolet et proche infrarouge réalise des profils de la haute atmosphère en observant l'occultation par celle-ci des étoiles qui «se couchent» lorsque le satellite progresse sur son orbite. Il permet la mesure des concentrations en ozone et autres gaz rares. (ESA, réalisé par Astrium à Toulouse). 1, record 1, French, - spectrom%C3%A8tre%20GOMOS

GOMOS is an atmospheric sensor to be flown on the European satellite ENVISAT(Environmental Satellite) in 2002 as a joint project of Finland and France. The main scientific objective is to monitor ozone and ozone trends in the stratosphere and mesosphere. This task is achieved by measuring stellar spectra in the ultraviolet to near infrared range while stars are being eclipsed by the Earth. 2, record 2, English, - Global%20Ozone%20Monitoring%20by%20Occultation%20of%20Stars
