I. Morino (NIES) - The measurements with a commercial Bruker IFS 120HR in the observation room of the Climate Change Research Hall at NIES and original solar tracker started in May 2001. This was used mainly for near infrared measurements (TCCON) but NDACC measurements with filters #1 - #3 were also performed. The 120HR was replaced by 125HR in April 2010 and NDACC measurements with filters #1 - # 4 started. The measurements with filter #5 and #6 started in January 2014. Total columns and vertical profiles of the standard NDACC 10 species as well as HCHO, OCS, NH3, C2H2, and NO2 using SFIT4 are archived since 2014.
