Description

Earth's transit spectrum from Macdonald and Cowan (2019), constructed from Atmospheric Chemistry Experiment Fourier Transform Spectrometer (ACE-FTS) solar occultation data (Hughes et al. 2014). The Atmospheric Chemistry Experiment (ACE), also known as SCISAT, is a Canadian-led mission mainly supported by the Canadian Space Agency. The occultation data used are available  at http://www.ace.uwaterloo.ca/atlas.php.
