Atmospheric Chemistry Experiment (ace): an Overview
نویسنده
چکیده
ACE is a Canadian satellite mission that will measure and help to understand the chemical and dynamical processes that control the distribution of ozone in the stratosphere. The ACE instruments are a Fourier transform infrared spectrometer, a UV/visible/near IR spectrograph and a two channel solar imager, all working in solar occultation mode.

The Canadian Space Agency (CSA) has initiated the Small Science Satellite (SCISAT) Program as a part of their ongoing space science program. The Atmospheric Chemistry Experiment (ACE) Mission from the University of Waterloo has been selected as the first SCISAT Mission, and will be launched in Q1, 2002 on board a Pegasus XL vehicle. The ACE spacecraft will be co-manifested on the Pegasus vehicl...
متن کاملAtmospheric Chemistry Experiment (ACE) Measurements of Tropospheric and Stratospheric Chemistry and Long-Term Trends
We highlight chemistry and trend measurement results from the Atmospheric Chemistry Experiment (ACE) which is providing precise middle troposphere to the lower thermosphere measurements with a 0.02 cm resolution Fourier transform spectrometer covering 750-4400 cm.
متن کاملAtmospheric Chemistry Experiment (ace): Status and Results
ACE is a Canadian-led satellite mission that is measuring the concentrations of more than thirty atmospheric constituents by absorption spectroscopy using the sun as a light source. The principal goal of the ACE mission is to make measurements which will lead to an improved understanding of the chemical and dynamical processes that control the distribution of ozone in the upper troposphere and ...

High spectral resolution Fourier transform spectrometer (FTS) measurements of tropospheric carbon monoxide (CO) distributions show mixing ratios over Indonesia during October 2006 of 200ppbv (10 9 per unit volume) in the middle troposphere. The elevated emissions were caused by intense and widespread Indonesian peat and forest fire emissions elevated compared to other years by the impact of a m...
