Description:

The NDACC Infrared Working Group (IRWG) manages twenty solar viewing Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectrometers (FTIR) that are distributed on all continents spanning the latitude range from 80ºS to 80ºN. These instruments record mid-infrared solar transmission spectra at high spectral resolution. Some, especially at remote sites operate autonomously, others are operated remotely or manually. The spectra contain the spectral signatures of vibrational-rotational transitions of numerous trace gases in the terrestrial atmosphere as they absorb solar radiation. The spectra are analysed to measure the concentration of these trace gases in the atmosphere using the method of optimal estimation. Gases of primary interest are O3, HCl, HF, ClONO2, HNO3, N2O, CH4, CO, C2H6, HCN, H2CO and OCS. Concentrations of these species all vary with altitude, this information along with retrieval characterization metadata are provided to allow optimal use of the data. Our aim is to record long-term high quality inter-calibrated spectra that provide trends of trace gases that can be used to understand tropospheric and stratospheric chemistry and transport.

Description:

The Total Carbon Column Observing Network (TCCON) is a network of ground-based Fourier Transform Spectrometers that record direct solar absorption spectra of the atmosphere in the near-infrared. From these spectra, accurate and precise column-averaged abundances of atmospheric constituents including CO2, CH4, N2O, HF, CO, H2O, and HDO, are retrieved. This is the GGG2020 data release of observations from the TCCON station at Izana, Tenerife, Spain

Description:

In 1988, the WMO proposed the establishment of a new international Baseline Surface Radiation Network (BSRN), aimed at collecting and centrally archiving high-quality ground-based radiation measurements at 1-minute resolution. One of these stations is the Izaña station (station IZA, no. 61), which joined the network in 2009. The included radiation measurements are: short-wave downward, diffuse, direct, long-wave downward, long-wave upward, net radiation, short-wave upward (REFLEX), ultraviolet-a global and ultraviolet-b global radiation.

Description:

AERONET (AErosol RObotic NETwork) is a global network of ground-based sun and moon photometers established and managed by NASA, in collaboration with other institutions, to measure atmospheric aerosols. It provides long-term, continuous, and standardized observations of aerosol optical properties, which are crucial for understanding air quality, climate change, and the Earth’s radiation budget. The network’s open-access data support both scientific research and the validation of satellite remote sensing measurements worldwide. AEMET participate with data from three stations located in Tenerife (Santa Cruz de Tenerife, from July 2004; Izaña, from March 2023; and Teide, from July 2012), one in La Palma (Roque de los Muchachos, from November 2019), and one in mainland Spain (Majadas del Tiétar, from June 2018).
