Remote Sensing of Mesospheric Ozone.

Abstract

Photochemical ozone theory and microwave spectroscopy suggest that microwave radiometry can be used to verify remotely the existence of the mesospheric ozone diurnal variation. A description of the theory and a radiometer built to test the theory is described. Experimental results are given which place an upper limit on the nightime mesospheric ozone concentration of 5 x(10 to the 10th power)/cc at 50 km dropping exponentially to 10 to the 9th power/cc at 80 km.
