The Pandora Spectrometer System is a ground-based UV-VIS spectrometer designed to measure column amounts of trace gases in the atmosphere. It employs total optical absorption spectroscopy for retrievals of ozone, nitrogen dioxide, formaldehyde, and other trace gases. Pandora operates within the 280-525 nm spectral range at a resolution of 0.6 nm. It can perform both direct sun and all-sky radiance measurements, with an overall measurement time of 80 seconds. Pandora is part of a network of identical instruments called the Pandonia Global Network.
