Some profiles


Profiles have been retrieved for species with pressure dependent absorption lines like CH4, N2O, HCl, HF, HNO3, NO, and and O3. Just as an example profiles of O3, HF, and HCl are shown:


Fig.1: O3 profile as measured with ground-based FTIR at Kiruna on 2001-07-08.
 


Fig.2: HF profile as measured with ground-based FTIR at Kiruna on 2001-07-08.
 


Fig.3: HCl profile as measured with ground-based FTIR at Kiruna on 2001-07-08.
 
 
 

Time series of profiles and column amounts of several species have been derived.
Figs. 4 + 5 show examples for Kiruna in winter 1997/98:
