Overview of the geophysical data derived from long-term FTIR monitoring activities at the Jungfraujoch NDACC site (46.5ºN) and the PYGCHEM project

Abstract

We present an overview of the geophysical data deduced from long-term monitoring activities conducted at the Jungfraujoch station by the University of Liège. Typical results and trend investigations are presented for hydrogen chloride (HCl) and carbonyl sulfide (OCS). We further display and briefly describe time series for new target gases, namely methanol (CH3OH) and HCFC-142b. We also show some preliminary results for ammonia (NH3) and peroxyacetyl nitrate (PAN). Finally, we present the PyGChem project, a Python interface to the GEOS-Chem model currently under development at ULg
