Design of the Atmospheric Chemistry Experiment Instrument

摘要

The Atmospheric Chemistry Experiment (ACE) is the mission selected byt he Canadian Space Agency for its new science satellite, SCISAT-1. Dr. Peter Bernath of the University of Waterloo is the ACE Principal Investigator, and ABB Bomem is the prime contractor for the development of the ACE main instrument, a Fourier-Transform Spectrometer (FTS). The principal goal of the ACE mission is to measure and understand the chemical and dynamical processes that control the distribution of ozone in the upper troposphere and stratosphere.
