abstract = {Carbonyl sulfide plays a crucial role in the global
atmospheric sulfur cycle and therefore for the global
climate. It is the most abundant sulfur containing gas in
the atmosphere during volcanic quiescence and is converted
to aerosol in the stratosphere, which has a cooling effect
on the climate. This work contributes to a better
understanding of the role of $\textbf{OCS}$ in the upper
troposphere and lower stratosphere. Satellite based data
were analyzed and a new instrument AMICA (Airborne
Mid-Infrared Cavity enhanced Absorption spectrometer) for
in-situ $\textbf{OCS}$ measurements on stratospheric
research aircraft was developed. $\textbf{OCS}$ data set
from the satellite based instrument ACE-FTS, the
stratospheric $\textbf{OCS}$ burden was calculated to be 524
Gg, which is 10 \% of the total atmospheric $\textbf{OCS}$
budget and is in agreement with a sulfur cycle model. No
trend in the global burden is observed between 2004 and
2016. Due to the sparse spacial coverage of the data set of
ACE-FTS, a sampling bias arises when computing
climatological averages over seasons and latitude bands.
This sampling bias is corrected for with a newly developed
procedure, using a mathematical interpolation. To estimate
the significance and magnitude of the bias for each data
point, the performance of the interpolation method was
tested and some limitations identified. Additionally, with
the ACE-FTS data set, a significant increase in
$\textbf{OCS}$ ($\textbf{CO}$ and $\textbf{HCN}$) mixing
ratios is observed in the Asian monsoon anticyclone, a
pathway from the highest polluted region on earth into the
stratosphere. An analysis of the $\textbf{HCN:OCS}$ ratios
supports the suggestion of a transport from the Bay of
Bengal region outside to the southern border of the
anticyclone with air masses in the Asian monsoon anticyclone
mostly originating from continental convection. The Asian
monsoon and the features seen with the ACE-FTS data set will
be investigated in detail with the new in-situ, high
resolution instrument AMICA during the EU-project
StratoClim. AMICA has been developed and tested as part of
this thesis. Important tests were made that contributed to
the mechanical design and measurement set up in the final
AMICA instrument. Key components include a box-shaped
pressure tight enclosure, a flow system that regulates the
cavity pressure over a wide ambient pressure range, spanning
the full altitude range of available research aircraft, and
the establishment of an $\textbf{OCS}$ calibration system.
AMICA successfully measured $\textbf{OCS}$ as well as
$\textbf{CO}$, H$_{2}$ and H$_{2}$$\textbf{O}$ during its
first campaign that comprised three flights from Kalamata,
Greece in summer 2016. $\textbf{OCS}$ measurements show
decreasing mixing ratios in the stratosphere as expected and
a larger variability in the UTLS region than expected. The
complete data set of the important tropospheric tracer
$\textbf{CO}$ was provided to the StratoClim community. A
comparison with a nearby ACE-FTS profile shows a reasonably
good agreement between AMICA and ACE-FTS in the
stratosphere. Further measurement flights in the UTLS region
will help understand the detected higher variability of
$\textbf{OCS}$ in the UTLS. This can improve the
representation of $\textbf{OCS}$ in global climate models.},
