Objective

PROVISION OF A CROSS-CORRELATED DATA BASE BY MAKING SIMULTANEOUS MEASUREMENTS OF KEY SPECIES OF STRATOSPHERIC PHOTOCHEMISTRY.

AN INTERNATIONAL COLLABORATIVE MEASUREMENT CAMPAIGN WILL BE CONDUCTED TO PROVIDE A COMPREHENSIVE SIMULTANEOUSLY MEASURED DATA SET OF VERTICAL STRATOSPHERIC TRACE GAS PROFILES. AN EVALUATION OF THE ACCURACY OF THESE STRATOSPHERIC MEASUREMENTS BY CAREFULL INTERCOMPARISON OF INSTRUMENTS WILL BE PERFORMED.

MEASUREMENTS OF NO, NO2, AND HNO3 WILL BE MADE USING THE OXFORD BALLOON-BORNE PRESSURE MODULATOR RADIOMETER AND WILL BE USED IN MODEL COMPARISONS FOR THE FULL DAY-NIGHT CYCLE.
