The Vertical Distribution of Ozone near the Equator.

Abstract

An experiment to monitor the ozone concentration in the upper stratosphere and lower mesosphere was performed at Panama Canal Zone during the first two weeks in November 1970. The rocketborne ozonesonde, a self-pumping device which incorporated a temperature-sensing bead thermistor on a time-sharing basis with the ozone sensor, was used for this study. Two electrochemical ozonesondes (Mast type) with the AMI-12 Radiosondes were flown on balloons, one on 9 November and the other on 12 November 1970. Resulting temperature and ozone data are presented. (Author)
