[en] Vertical profiles of HF, O3, and HNO3 have been retrieved from high-resolution solar spectra recorded at the Jungfraujoch observatory (Swiss Alps, 46.5°N latitude, 8.0°E longitude, 3.58 km altitude). Two algorithms for the retrieval of vertical concentration profiles based on the Optimal Estimation Method have been used. The results of the vertical profile retrievals are compared to the Halogen Occultation Experiment (HALOE) profiles, to the Cryogenic Infrared Spectrometers and Telescope (CRISTA2) second mission (August 1997) profiles for HNO3 and O3 and also to nearby ozone sondes and lidar profile for O3.
