Balloon Borne Measurements in the Arctic Vortex

摘要9423285罗森这项研究涉及两种观测方法的应用研究极地平流层云（PSC）和臭氧在北极冬季涡旋。 第一种方法使用气球携带的气溶胶和颗粒仪器，随着PSC开始形成和演变，随着固定空气质量漂浮许多天，同时将测量臭氧浓度。 第二种方法涉及在若干北极站用类似设备进行正常气球探测，与第一种方法不同，这种方法将提供关于固定地点的PSC演变情况的资料。 该项目是一个持续的成功的国际（美国，俄罗斯、德国、丹麦和芬兰）的努力，代表了一种确定和量化北极平流层臭氧损失的新方法。 ***

Abstract 9423285 Rosen This research involves the application of two observational methods for the study of Polar Stratospheric Clouds (PSCs) and ozone in the Arctic winter vortex. The first method uses balloon borne aerosol and particle instrumentation floating with a fixed air mass for many days as PSCs begin to form and evolve while at the same time ozone concentrations will be measured. The second approach involves making normal balloon soundings with similar equipment at several Arctic stations which, in contrast to the first method, will provide information on the evolution of PSCs over a fixed location. This project is a continuation and refinement of an ongoing successful international (U.S., Russia, Germany, Denmark and Finland) effort and represents a new approach to identifying and quantifying ozone loss in the Arctic Stratosphere. ***
