The cryogenic limb array etalon spectrometer (CLAES) on UARS - Experiment description and performanceThe design and the performance of the cryogenic limb array spectrometer (CLAES) aboard the NASA Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite are discussed. CLAES measures altitude profiles of temperature, pressure, O3, H2O, CH4, N2O, NO, NO2, N2O5, HNO3, ClONO2, HCl, CFC 11, CFC 12, and aerosol absorption coefficients for atmospheric layer between 10 and 60 km. Examples of atmospheric spectral emission profiles for a number of constituents are presented as well as responsivity and noise parameters.
