Title :
The Atmospheric Chemistry Experiment (ACE): an overview
Author_Institution :
Dept. of Chem., Waterloo Univ., Ont., Canada
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.
