Atmospheric Chemistry Experiment (ace): Status and Results
نویسنده
چکیده
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 stratosphere. The ACE instruments are an infrared Fourier transform spectrometer (FTS), a UV/visible/near IR spectrograph and a two channel solar imager, all working in solar occultation mode. The high resolution (0.02 cm) FTS is the primary instrument on the satellite, and it covers the mid-infrared spectral region (750-4400 cm).

متن کاملTropospheric emission spectrometer (TES) and atmospheric chemistry experiment (ACE) measurements of tropospheric chemistry in tropical southeast Asia during a moderate El Niño in 2006
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...
متن کاملAerosol extinction profiles at 525 nm and 1020 nm derived from ACE imager data: comparisons with GOMOS, SAGE II, SAGE III, POAM III, and OSIRIS
The Canadian ACE (Atmospheric Chemistry Experiment) mission is dedicated to the retrieval of a large number of atmospheric trace gas species using the solar occultation technique in the infrared and UV/visible spectral domain. However, two additional solar disk imagers (at 525 nm and 1020 nm) were added for a number of reasons, including the retrieval of aerosol and cloud products. In this pape...
متن کاملFirst 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...
