A GUIDE TO ROCKETSONDE MEASUREMENT OF ATMOSPHERIC OZONE

Abstract

The guide describes the preflight instrument preparation and data reduction procedures for the rocket-borne ozonesonde developed by the Atmospheric Sciences Laboratory, White Sands Missile Range. Basic system components are outlined, and the theory of operation is discussed. The ozonesonde is used for the measurement of ozone concentration to within plus or minus ten percent in the mesosphere and stratosphere after deployment from an Arcas rocket vehicle.
