High resolution Fourier transform infrared spectrometer for atmospheric remote sensing and laboratory spectroscopy

气候变化是一个重大的全球问题，可能会在澳大利亚产生重大后果。这一建议通过直接测量与理解温室气体浓度增加和平流层臭氧消耗等现象有关的大气，直接促进了与澳大利亚有关的气候变化研究。澳大利亚在人口较少的南半球的地理位置及其先进的科学基础设施，意味着它在全球大气研究中可以发挥特别重要和有价值的作用。拟议的研究参与了几个国际研究方案。

Climate change is a major global concern, with the potential for major consequences in Australia. This proposal contributes directly to climate change research relevant to Australia through direct measurements of the atmosphere relevant to the understanding of phenomena such as increasing greenhouse gas concentrations and stratospheric ozone depletion. Australia's geographical position in the less populated southern hemisphere, and its advanced scientific infrastructure, mean that it has an especially important and valuable role to play in global atmospheric research. The proposed research participates in several international research programmes.
