Stratospheric Ozone Density as Measured by a Chemiluminescent Sensor during the STRATCOM VI-A Flight.

Abstract

Ozone concentration was measured by the chemiluminescent technique during the STRATCOM VI-A balloon flight flown from Holloman Air Force Base, New Mexico, on 23 September 1975. More than 30 hours of data were collected as the balloon floated at various altitudes in the stratosphere. A diurnal variation in ozone above the ozone peak was observed in the 27 to 40 km region. Wet stratospheric photochemistry is used as a guide to explain the diurnal change in ozone. (Author)
