The presence of ammonia was first discovered in the upper troposphere in 2016 using the analysis of averaged MIPAS (Michelson Interferometer for Passive Atmospheric Sounding) infrared limb-emission spectra. The findings suggest that in addition to carbon dioxide, there are other compounds in need of attention and regulation.
