Atmospheric trace gas measurements in the tropics by ground-based FTIR-spectrometry — •Thorsten Warneke1, Justus Notholt1, Voltaire Velazco1, and Otto Schrems2 — 1Institute of environmental physics, University of Bremen, Bremen — 2Alfred Wegener Institute, Bremerhaven
The tropics play a central role in global climate. Emissions within the tropics, especially from biomass burning, contribute substantially to the global budgets of many important trace gases. These pollutants significantly influence tropospheric and stratospheric chemistry. Solar absorption-FTIR measurements have been performed in Paramaribo (Surinam) to study the composition of the whole atmosphere, including the Tropical Tropopause Layer (TTL) and the stratosphere.
