IRF Kiruna homepage

The FT-IR spectrometer is operated by IRF Kiruna in collaboration with:
Institut für Meteorologie und Klimaforschung, Germany, and the
Solar Terrestrial Environment Laboratory, Japan.
\"FTIR
The FT-IR spectrometer in the optical laboratory records atmospheric absorption spectra using the sun or the moon as the infra-red light source. From these spectra, one can determine the abundances of some 30 different molecular trace gases present in the lower atmosphere.
