Abstract

ACE is a Canadian-led satellite mission that is measuring the concentrations of more than thirty atmospheric constituents by absorption spectroscopy using the sun as a light source. The ACE instruments are an infrared Fourier transform spectrometer, a UV/visible/near IR spectrograph and a two-channel solar imager, all working in solar occultation mode. A selected overview of recent ACE results will be presented.
