Atmospheric Chemistry Experiment (ACE): An Overview

  • Chapter
Spectroscopy from Space

Part of the book series: NATO Science Series ((NAII,volume 20))

Abstract

ACE is a Canadian satellite mission that will measure and help to understand the chemical and dynamical processes that control the distribution of ozone in the stratosphere. The ACE instruments are a Fourier transform infrared spectrometer, a UV/visible/near IR spectrograph and a two channel solar imager, all working in solar occultation mode.
