Modeling of the calculation of the atmospheric chlorine monoxide content from the data of ground-based observations at millimeter waves

Computer modeling of the calculation of the content of chlorine monoxide in the atmosphere is performed. Radiation spectra of the substance that are measured at 204 GHz with an optimized ground-based spectroradiometer, currently under development at the Lebedev Institute of Physics, are used in the calculation procedure. It is shown that these spectra can be used to determine the average chlorine monoxide content in atmospheric layers and to reconstruct the vertical profile of this content by means of an algorithm based on the Tikhonov regularization method. The accuracy of determination of the content is estimated for different heights, including the heights of the layers that are most sensitive to atmospheric pollution.[PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
