Stratospheric sulfuric acid aerosols: composition and temperature discrimination with the ATMOS data set

The ATMOS Fourier transform spectrometer was flown for a fourth time on the Space Shuttle as part of the ATLAS-3 instrument payload in November 1994. More than 190 sunrise and sunset occul tation events provided measurements of more than 30 atmospheric trace gases at latitudes 3-49°N and 65-72°S, in...

Summary:The ATMOS Fourier transform spectrometer was flown for a fourth time on the Space Shuttle as part of the ATLAS-3 instrument payload in November 1994. More than 190 sunrise and sunset occul tation events provided measurements of more than 30 atmospheric trace gases at latitudes 3-49°N and 65-72°S, including observations both inside and outside the Antarctic polar vortex
