| Zusammenfassung |
| The Atmospheric Chemistry Experiment-Fourier Transform Spectrometer
(ACE-FTS) aboard the Canadian satellite SCISAT (launched in August 2003) was
designed to investigate the composition of the upper troposphere,
stratosphere, and mesosphere. ACE-FTS utilizes solar occultation to measure
temperature and pressure as well as vertical profiles of over thirty
chemical species including O3, H2O, CH4, N2O, CO, NO,
NO2, N2O5, HNO3, HCl, ClONO2, CCl3F,
CCl2F2, and HF. Global coverage for each species is obtained
approximately over a three month period and measurements are made with a
vertical resolution of typically 3–4 km. A quality-controlled climatology
has been created for each of these 14 baseline species, where individual
profiles are averaged over the period of February 2004 to February 2009.
Measurements used are from the ACE-FTS version 2.2 data set including
updates for O3 and N2O5. The climatological fields are
provided on a monthly and three-monthly basis (DJF, MAM, JJA, SON) at 5 degree
latitude and equivalent latitude spacing and on 28 pressure surfaces
(26 of which are defined by the Stratospheric Processes And their Role in
Climate (SPARC) Chemistry-Climate Model Validation Activity). The ACE-FTS
climatological data set is available through the ACE website. |
