| Zusammenfassung |
| The CRISTA-NF (Cryogenic Infrared Spectrometers and Telescope for the Atmosphere -
New Frontiers) instrument measures limb-emissions in the mid-infrared region with a high
vertical (up to 250m) and horizontal (15 km) sampling onboard the Russian research aircraft
M55-Geophysica. The instrument participated successfully in the RECONCILE campaign in
Kiruna in January and March 2010.
The first retrieval results of the CRISTA-NF measurements during the RECONCILE local
flight No. 11 from Spitsbergen to Kiruna on March 2 are presented.
Volume mixing ratios of several trace gases like ClONO2, HNO3 and CFC-11 with
for limb sounding unprecedented high vertical resolution (e.g. Full Width of Half
Maximum (FWHM) of the Averaging Kernel < 500m for CFC-11) will be shown to
illustrate the capability of the instrument to measure small scale structures in the lower
stratosphere.
Comparisons with the 3D tracer fields of the Chemical Lagrangian Model of the Stratosphere
(CLaMS) have been performed to obtain further information about the observed structures
and the origin of the corresponding air masses. |
