摘要
The Dobson spectrophotometer, which was developed in the late 1920s, measures atmospheric total column ozone. This paper presents the history of Dobson spectrophotometer #17 (D#17), which arrived in New Zealand in 1950. D#17 has been in operation at Kelburn in Wellington (1951 - 1970), Invercargill (1970 - 1987), and Arrival Heights in Antarctica (1988 - present). D#17's history includes a flooding, several overhauls, a semi-automation, and finally a complete automation. In the early days the main reasons for measuring total ozone were to develop an ozone climatology, and to investigate the relationship between ozone and the weather. From the mid-1970s the focus of ozone measurement largely changed to studying ozone trends (which includes Antarctic ozone depletion). This requires a traceable calibration history, which is discussed in detail. Plots of the D#17 total ozone record are provided.
