| definition |
- The CCD linear array on board the Meteor-3M-1, along with the spectrometer, provides continuous wavelength coverage between 290 and 1040 nm with a spectral resolution between 1.2 to 2.5 nm, permitting the measurement of multiple absorption features of each gaseous species and multi-wavelength measurement of broadband extinction by aerosols. Nine channels are routinely utilized in solar occultation measurements and three channels are used in lunar measurements. Spectral calibration is continuous, combined with the self-calibrating nature of the occultation technique. In addition, the CCD array permits in-orbit wavelength and intensity calibration from observations of the exo-atmospheric solar Fraunhofer spectrum.
