ROCKET MEASUREMENTS OF THE DIURNAL VARIATION OF ATMOSPHERIC OZONE,
Abstract
The rocket-borne ozonesonde, developed by the Atmospheric Sciences Research Office, White Sands Missile Range (WSMR), New Mexico, has been deployed for the study of diurnal variation of ozone in the stratosphere and mesosphere. Five ozonesondes were rocket-launched in January 1968 within a 24-hour period, and the data obtained showed ozone variations between day and night above the main ozone peak (22 km). Three additional ozonesondes were flown in July 1968, with similar ozone variations being observed. Two Mast ozonesondes were launched on balloons during these series of soundings, and data obtained by the two sounding systems agreed well in the region of overlap. (Author)
