The Michelson Interferometer for Passive Atmospheric Sounding (MIPAS) instrument which operated in the near-to-mid infrared on Envisat satellite from 2002–2012 is a Fourier-transform spectrometer measurement of high-resolution atmospheric emission spectra at Earth’s limb. initial operational products are profiles temperature, H2O, O3, CH4, N2O, HNO3, and NO2, this list extended to include impor...

This article reviews the postmortem chemistry of body fluids. The articles reviewed have been written in English during the last 15 years and the subjects discussed include carbohydrates, nitrogenous compounds, electrolytes, trace elements, lipids, proteins, bile pigments, enzymes, hormones, blood gases, pH, biochemical markers, metabolic disorders, SIDS, time of death, and the physical charact...

This is a very interesting manuscript that demonstrates the significant impact of largescale circulation on trace gases in an urban area, especially GEM. This innovative work yields surprising results that show the importance of meteorology and how it can dominate over anthropogenic emission sources; a surprising result to some. Except for a few minor comments, the manuscript is ready for peer ...

The Institute of Applied Physics observes middle atmospheric trace gases, such as ozone and water vapour, by microwave radiometry. We report on the comparison of measurements using a novel digital Fast Fourier Transform and accousto optical spectrometers. First tests made on ground are presented as well as first experience about the use of such spectrometers under aircraft conditions.
