International audience We present a multi-year time series of the total column amounts of carbon monoxide (CO), hydrogen cyanide (HCN) and ethane (C 2 H 6 ) obtained by Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectrometer measurements at ten sites. Six are high-latitude sites: Eureka, Nunavut (80.05°N, 86...
