Atmospheric chemistry experiment (ACE): Mission overview

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

ACE is a Canadian satellite mission that will provide measurements leading to an improved understanding of 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. ACE was successfully launched on August 12, 2003.
