Physics

Scientific paper

A simple arrangement based upon sun glint, the brilliant image of the sun behind a convex reflecting surface, is used to produce a nearly stationary image of the sun. Using a telescope mirror, this image is directed into a spectrometer and is spectrally analyzed for the purpose of remote sensing of trace species in our atmosphere. Typical data using a reflecting sphere are reported and discussed qualitatively in relation to the atmospheric absorbers between the sun and detector. The over-all uses of the system are described, and some cautions concerning its limitations are discussed. Alternate geometries and possible variations of the system are described.
