This paper reviews the various aspects of chlorine compounds in the stratosphere, both their
roles as reactants and as tracers of dynamical processes. In the stratosphere, reactive …

A new type of multiple-reflection optical cell is presented. One of the main advantages of this
type of cell is that it can be made of standard mirrors without particular tolerance while …

This paper presents extensive {bias determination} analyses of ozone observations from the
Atmospheric Chemistry Experiment (ACE) satellite instruments: the ACE Fourier Transform …

The Michelson Interferometer for Passive Atmospheric Sounding (MIPAS), on-board the
European ENVIronmental SATellite (ENVISAT) launched on 1 March 2002, is a middle …

The Atmospheric Chemistry Experiment (ACE) mission was launched in August 2003 to
sound the atmosphere by solar occultation. Carbon monoxide (CO), a good tracer of …

Solar PV mini-grids are increasingly being deployed in off-grid and island communities
especially in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) countries to meet household energy demand …

Hydrogen chloride (HCl) and hydrogen fluoride (HF) are respectively the main chlorine and
fluorine reservoirs in the Earth's stratosphere. Their buildup resulted from the intensive use …

The ACE-FTS (Atmospheric Chemistry Experiment–Fourier Transform Spectrometer) solar
occultation instrument that was launched onboard the Canadian SCISAT-1 satellite in …

Geometric optics and matrix methods are used to mathematically model multilaser Herriott
cells for tunable laser absorption spectrometers for planetary missions. The Herriott cells …
