Interactive comment on “Validation of ACE-FTS satellite data in the upper troposphere/lower stratosphere (UTLS) using non-coincident measurements” by M. I. Hegglin et al

a) It is not true that satellites are the only means to get information on tracers at global scale. This is true for CO but not for O3 and H2O. O3 climatologies are available from a large number of ozonesondes in both the UT and the LS particularly in the NH, coincident in time with ACE-FTS, which could be used for evaluating the performances of the instrument, as done for SAGE, HALOE etc. Simi...

Interactive comment on “Validation of ACE-FTS

General comments: This paper gives a detailed validation of the N2O measurements from ACE-FTS, a new instrument that was launched onboard the ACE satellite on 12 August 2003. The scope of the paper is therefore of great interest for further use of these satellite data. The authors compare ACE-FTS v2.2 measurements with products from many different platforms (satellite, aircraft, balloon-borne a...

Observations of Peroxyacetyl Nitrate (PAN) in the Upper Troposphere by the Atmospheric Chemistry Experiment-Fourier Transform Spectrometer (ACE-FTS)

Peroxyacetyl nitrate (CH3CO·O2NO2, abbreviated as PAN) is a trace molecular species present in the troposphere and lower stratosphere due primarily to pollution from fuel combustion and the pyrogenic outflows from biomass burning. In the lower troposphere, PAN has a relatively short lifetime and is principally destroyed within a few hours through thermolysis, but it can act as a reservoir and c...

Validation of HNO3, ClONO2, and N2O5 from the Atmospheric Chemistry Experiment Fourier Transform Spectrometer (ACE-FTS)

The Atmospheric Chemistry Experiment (ACE) satellite was launched on 12 August 2003. Its two instruments measure vertical profiles of over 30 atmospheric trace gases by analyzing solar occultation spectra in the ultraviolet/visible and infrared wavelength regions. The reservoir gases HNO3, ClONO2, and N2O5 are three of the key species provided by the primary instrument, the ACE Fourier Transfor...

CO measurements from the ACE-FTS satellite instrument: data analysis and validation using ground-based, airborne and spaceborne observations

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 pollution plumes and atmospheric dynamics, is one of the key species provided by the primary instrument, the ACE-Fourier Transform Spectrometer (ACE-FTS). This in-5 strument performs measurements in both the CO 1-0 and 2-0 ro-vibrati...
