Remote Sensing of Atmospheric Trace Constituents Using Fourier Transform Spectrometry
Abstract The investigation of changes in ozone concentration and of the increase of the greenhouse effect requires simultaneous and global observations of atmospheric trace species. Obviously, IR‐Fourier Transform Spectrometers (FTIR) are especially appropriate for this measurement task due to their...
