First measurements of CFC-113 and HCFC-142b from space using ACE-FTS infrared spectra

[1] The first measurements of CFC-113 (CCl2FCClF2) and HCFC-142b (CH3CClF2) from space have been performed by the Atmospheric Chemistry Experiment (ACE), a satellite-based mission for remote sensing of the Earth’s atmosphere. Retrievals for the volume mixing ratio profiles of these two molecules have been performed for ACE-FTS measurements at mid-latitudes and in the tropics, and the results ar...

Carbon monoxide distribution from the ACE-FTS solar occultation measurements

Intercomparison of simultaneously obtained infrared (4.8 microm) and visible (515-715 nm) ozone spectra using ACE-FTS and MAESTRO.

Laboratory ozone absorption spectra were measured simultaneously in the visible (515-715 nm) and infrared (2070-2140 cm(-1)) spectral regions using SCISAT-1's MAESTRO (Measurement of Aerosol Extinction in the Stratosphere and Troposphere Retrieved by Occultation) and ACE-FTS (Atmospheric Chemistry Experiment-Fourier Transform Spectrometer) spectrometers. An intercomparison of these measurements...

The ACE - FTS atlas of the infrared solar spectrum

The ACE-FTS is a space-borne Fourier transform spectrometer onboard SCISAT-1. The satellite was launched in August 2003 and since February 2004the ACE-FTS has been performing solar occultation measurements since February 2004 in order to infer the chemical composition of the terrestrial atmosphere. The individual spectra recorded at the highest limb tangent altitudes (above 160 km) are by defin...
