J. Hannigan and I. Ortega and M. Coffey (ret) (NCAR) — Bruker 120M (250cm OPD) installed at South Mountain in 1999 in bldg. 1985, operating under autonomous control. Instrument was moved to bldg. 1971 (1km from previous location at same altitude) in Summer 2011. In May 2015 a new Bruker 125HR FTIR (also 250cm OPD) operating with new software control and new solar tracker was installed.

M. Yela Gonzalez, O. Puentedura and M. Navarro Comas (INTA) — Zenith measurements of column NO2 since 1995 with a grating scanning monochromator. Since 2011, MAXDOAS system has been operating for BrO and OClO. Since 2014, another MAXDOAS system has been operating for NO2 and ozone. The scanning system will continue to take measurements until 2020 in order to overlap with those by the MAXDOAS systems. In 2017 joined NDACC. Data from 1995 to 2016 not yet archived.

R. Querel (NIWA) — Zenith sky DOAS, NO2 column measurements since 1991 using a scanning grating monochromator. Two units operated in parallel, one at Scott Base, one at Arrival Heights. In 1998 a MAXDOAS UV/Vis spectrometer was installed and operated in conjunction with the University of Heidelberg.

In 2005 a UV/Vis Grating CCD array spectrometer was installed for measurements of BrO and OClO. In November 2013 the spectrometer was reconfigured (wavelength region expanded) to include spectral measurements to permit NO2 retrievals. Operational data ends in 2020.  Some data archived under former PIs (Wood and Johnston).  Data through 2020 archived under final PI (Querel).
