NDACC Observation Capabilities. |
The international Network for the Detection of Atmospheric Composition Change
(NDACC) is composed of more than 70 high-quality, remote-sensing research stations
for observing and understanding the physical and chemical state of the stratosphere
and upper troposphere and for assessing the impact of stratosphere changes on the
underlying troposphere and on global climate.
While the NDACC remains committed to monitoring changes in the stratosphere with an
emphasis on the long-term evolution of the ozone layer, its priorities have broadened
considerably to encompass issues such as the detection of trends in overall atmospheric
composition and understanding their impacts on the stratosphere and troposphere, and
establishing links between climate change and atmospheric composition.
Following five years of planning, instrument design and implementation, the NDACC
began network operations in January 1991. |
