Short summary

Nineteen years of atmospheric composition measurements made at the University of Toronto Atmospheric Observatory (TAO; 43.66° N, 79.40° W; 174 m.a.s.l.) are presented. These are retrieved from Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) solar absorption spectra recorded with a spectrometer from May 2002 to December 2020. The retrievals have been optimized for fourteen species: O₃, HCl, HF, HNO₃, CH₄, C₂H₆, CO, HCN, N₂O, C₂H₂, H₂CO, CH₃OH, HCOOH, and NH₃.
