DOAS Project
DOAS is short for Differential Optical Absorption Spectroscopy. There is a DOAS instrument stationed on the UNEP campus in Nairobi, Kenya, which is measuring the concentration of the constituents in the atmosphere, in partcilular ozone. The DOAS Project of the Berlin-Nairobi Exchange is carried out in collaboration with the University of Bremen in Germany, which owns and runs the DOAS instrument in Nairobi, as well as the University of Nairobi and the Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology, both in Kenya. Currently, the DOAS Project is a set of physics student undergraduate projects, which were suggested by the University of Bremen und are carried out at and supervised by the University of Nairobi and the Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology. The physics undergraduates carrying out these projects are Berlin-Nairobi Exchange students from Germany, who are spending one academic year studying physics in Kenya. It is intended to develop the DOAS Project further. If you want to be kept up-to-date on the progress, please submit your email address below.
