Soccer Observing the ozone story from space: Measuring CFC and HCFC species using ACE-FTS Felicia Kolonjari, University of Toronto Supervised by: Prof. Kaley A. Walker ➡ Are the measurements of CFCs and HCFCs from the ACE-FTS comparable to other coincident satellite, ground-based, and air-borne measurements? ➡ What can we learn about the chemistry of these species from the ACE-FTS measurements? ➡ What causes the differences between model predictions of the concentrations of CFCs and HCFCs compared to the concentrations observed by the ACE-FTS? ➡ How does the Brewer-Dobson circulation impact the distribution of CFCs and HCFCs as measured by the ACE-FTS?
