Solar UV Fluxes and Ozone Overburdens Obtained from UVS Measurements on the CIAP Rocket Plume Flight of 10 April 1974, and the Lacate Flights of 5 May 1974,

Abstract

An ultraviolet interference-filter spectrophotometer (UVS) has been used to obtain solar UV fluxes and ozone overburdens at high altitude from several flights on a WB57F aircraft. The data from three DOT Climatic Impact Assessment Program flights have been reduced to final UV flux and ozone overburden values and the results are presented in this report. These flights were in support of missions associated with study of rocket plumes (10 April 1974), and the LACATE (Lower Atmospheric Composition and Temperature Experiment, 5 May 1974).
