The atmospheric monitoring program conducted by University of Liège at Jungfraujoch started in the 1950s. Grating instruments and then Fourier Transform spectrometers were successfully in use to collect observations useful to accurately document the long-term evolution of the composition and dynamics of the Earth's atmosphere, both in the stratosphere and in the troposphere. The continuation of this program is now taking on a new momentum with the renewal of the equipment mainly consisting of a Fourier transform spectrometer achieving high spectral resolution, adapted for recording atmospheric infrared spectra between 650 and 4400 cm-1, as well as a solar-tracker with very high sun-pointing accuracy. The ULiège team is visiting the station for setting up and configuring the new instrumentation. Picture: HFSJG
