Abstract. The ozone profile records of a large number limb and occultation satellite instruments are widely used to address several key questions in research. Further progress some domains depends on more detailed understanding these data sets, especially their long-term stability mutual consistency. To this end, we made systematic assessment 14 sounders that, together, provide than three decades global measurements. In particular, considered the latest operational Level-2 by SAGE II, III,...
Abstract. Since the nineties, atmospheric measurement systems have been deployed at Reunion Island, mainly for monitoring composition in framework of NDSC/NDACC (Network Detection Stratospheric Change/Network Atmospheric Composition Change). The location Island presents a great interest because there are very few multi-instrumented stations tropics and particularly southern hemisphere. In 2012, new observatory was commissioned Maïdo 2200 m above sea level: it hosts various instruments...

Using correlative data from Measurement Pollution Troposphere instrument and back trajectories...
Secondary organic aerosols (SOA) produced in the atmosphere from sequential oxidation of biogenic or anthropogenic volatile compounds (VOC) represent a significant part atmospheric aerosol. Aerosol particles can act as cloud condensation nuclei be scavenged by droplets, where carbon undergo chemical and biological transformations. Due to its high complexity, nontargeted analysis FT-ICR MS (Fourier-transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry) has been used characterize dissolved...
A statistical analysis of 295 cloud samples collected at the Puy de Dôme station in France (PUY), covering period 2001–2018, was conducted using principal component (PCA), agglomerative hierarchical clustering (AHC), and partial least squares (PLS) regression. Our model classified water on basis their chemical concentrations dynamical history air masses estimated with back-trajectory calculations. The split our dataset into two sets, i.e., first set characterized by westerly marine...
Abstract. Ground-based high spectral resolution Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) solar absorption spectroscopy is a powerful remote sensing technique to obtain information on the total column abundances and vertical distribution of various constituents in atmosphere. This work presents results from two FTIR measurement campaigns 2002 2004, held at Ile de La Réunion (21° S, 55° E). These represent first observations carried out southern (sub)tropical site. They serve initiation regular,...

Convective tropical cyclones initiate exchanges of mass and energy between the troposphere stratosphere. Recent analyses ozone water vapor measurements from Measurements Ozone by Airbus In‐Service Aircraft (MOZAIC) data [ Suhre et al ., 1997] suggest that stratospheric inputs to can occur in tropics near zones deep convection. In present paper, we analyze a case study spectacular stratosphere‐troposphere exchange directly linked strong cyclone Marlene, occurred Mauritius Reunion Island on...
Daily measurements of tropospheric ozone at La Reunion Island (55 E, 21 S) in July 1998 show that layers are quasi‐permanent the troposphere between 6 and 10 km with values reaching 80 to 100 ppbv. Meridional cross sections potential vorticity reveal these related tropopause folds beneath subtropical jet. Folding is persistent extends over a considerable longitude range from mid‐Atlantic mid‐Pacific. We suggest this structure due convergent flow associated descent branch Hadley circulation...
