Objective
Taking advantage of the unique SUMMIT station being established in a joint activity of the NSF in the USA and the Polar Centre in Denmark we propose to perform measurements of ozone profiles together with key species in natural and anthropogenic ozone destruction cycles, using the well proven technology of microwave radiometry. SUMMIT is the only location in the Arctic where these measurements are feasible year-round. Continuously monitoring these constituents is mandatory if we want to verify our model calculations predicting a maximum chlorine loading after 2000, followed by a slow (10-50 years) recovery of the ozone layer. Only microwave radiometers (MR) are capable of observing sirmultaneously profiles of ozone and chlorine monoxide, the key constituent in anthropogenic ozone destruction. A state-of-the-art MR, optimised for the SUMMIT location, will be developed, installed, and operated for 2 years. Later operation can be taken over by station personnel.

Funding Scheme
Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
