The scientific instruments on the ACE satellite are co-aligned to simultaneously probe the same altitude region and feature broad spectral coverage, from the mid-infrared to the near UV. The primary instrument on board is a Fourier Transform Spectrometer known as ACE-FTS, with unapodized resolution $0.02 cm^{-1}$ (maximum path difference $\pm 25 cm$) and wavenumber coverage $750-4100 cm^{-1}$. The vertical resolution of ACE-FTS occultation measurements will be 2-3 km. The primary ACE goal is to study stratospheric ozone chemistry and dynamics in the Arctic; however, the inclined orbit also provides occultations in the Antarctic, midlatitudes, the tropics, and subtropics and will yield standard data products for a dozen key stratospheric constituents and temperature. We describe initial retrieval studies with the ACE FTS spectra, comparing results achieved with different retrieval software developed by groups in Canada, NASA Langley, and in Belgium. The consistency observed for results from different retrieval software is discussed, along with plans for validation of the ACE data with other datasets.
