چکیده
A somewhat weak point of the paper is that a clearly defined focus is not apparent: In the introduction it is said "..., it is nessessary to understand the difference between ground-based instruments that are used in satellite validation studies and this is the focus of this paper." According to the title, the validation of the ACE-FTS seems to be of equal importance. Judging from the length of Sections 5.1 and 5.2 the first two topics listed above seem to be of about equal importance, the third topic (Section 5.3) proves to be a supplement of lower importance.

Side-by-side intercomparisons of ground-based remote sounding instruments are of very high interest within the NDACC (Network for the Detection of Atmospheric Composition Change) community. There have been earlier studies (e.g., Murphy et al., 2001; Wunch et al., 2007) and there are planned future intercomparisons (e.g., Sung et al., to be submitted to ACP, 2008). It would be desirable to make ...

Atmospheric 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 کاملValidation of HNO3, ClONO2, and N2O5 from the Atmospheric Chemistry Experiment Fourier Transform Spectrometer (ACE-FTS)
The Atmospheric Chemistry Experiment (ACE) satellite was launched on 12 August 2003. Its two instruments measure vertical profiles of over 30 atmospheric trace gases by analyzing solar occultation spectra in the ultraviolet/visible and infrared wavelength regions. The reservoir gases HNO3, ClONO2, and N2O5 are three of the key species provided by the primary instrument, the ACE Fourier Transfor...
