OZONE MEASUREMENTS WITH ROCKET-BORNE OZONESONDES
Abstract
A rocket-borne ozonesonde has been developed which utilizes the chemiluminescent principle for the measurement of the ozone concentration in the atmosphere. This has been fired with the ARCAS rocket at White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico. The instrument, as it descends with the parachute, measures the ozone concentration. In addition to the main peak ozone concentration generally found near 22 km, a secondary peak has been observed close to 40 kilometers. A gross detailed structure of ozone distribution in the upper stratosphere has been measured which could not be obtained by the Umkehr method.
