Vertical resolution vs. number of observations intergrated? ACE occultation measurements provide information on a series of trace gases with good vertical resolution in the upper troposphere CO measurements consistent with MOZAIC in situ and MOPITT satellite measurements Combined analysis with nadir measurements (better spatio-temporal resolution, lower vertical resolution) and global model provides information on the global context and transport pathways ACE gives detailed information on the chemical composition of air masses in the upper troposphere Interesting tool for the study of the long range transport
