We present in Table 1 of this paper a series of free tropospheric radon profiles, obtained in the summer of 1994 on flights originating from Moffett Field, California (37.4°N, 122.0°W). These data were collected with the intent of acquiring a high-quality, statistically significant set of observations, in one season and at one location, suitable for use in the development and validation of three-dimensional global circulation and chemical transport models, as demonstrated in the companion paper [Stockwell, et al., this issue]. The profiles, which extend from the surface to 11.5 kilometers, were obtained on 11 flights flown in the period June 3 to August 16. A series of high-pressure whole-air samples (typically 11 or 12 per profile) were collected as the plane ascended to altitude, and analyzed immediately after each flight in a ground-based laboratory. A thorough discussion of sampling, analysis, calibration, and quality control procedures is provided.
