Remote sensing of the atmospheric composition in the infrared spectral region within the Network for the Detection of Atmospheric Composition Change (NDACC) and the Total Carbon Column Observing Network (TCCON)
Remote sensing has been established as a powerful tool in atmospheric research. Throughout the last decades satellite and ground-based remote sensing instruments and methods have been developed to sample the atmosphere from the microwave to the UV/Vis. The international ground based networks NDACC-I...

Remote sensing has been established as a powerful tool in atmospheric research. Throughout the last decades satellite and ground-based remote sensing instruments and methods have been developed to sample the atmosphere from the microwave to the UV/Vis. The international ground based networks NDACC-IR and TCCON are based on solar absorption spectrometry in the infrared. Both networks consist of more than 30 observations sites around the globe, from the high Arctic through mid-latitudes and the tropics to the southern hemisphere and Antarctica. NDACC concentrates on stratospheric observations in relation to ozone chemistry, in many instances, information on the vertical distribution of the target species is determined. Measured trace gases include O3, HCl, HF, HNO3, ClONO2 and many others. In addition, the tropospheric composition is studied by measuring anthropogenic and biogenic species including HCN, OCS, H2O, CO, CH2O, C2H6, and C2H2. The aim of TCCON is to acquire accurate and precise column-averaged abundances of CO2, CH4, N2O, i.e. atmospheric trace gases which have a very small natural variability.
