Field Observations of Stratospheric Trace Gases in Support of the UARS Mission

这笔赠款提供后勤和实地支持，使毫米 平流层气体，臭氧， 一氧化二氮，尤其是一氧化氯。 测量 将在南极洲的麦克默多制造 目的是提供 类似微波发射光谱仪的“地面实况”， NASA的高层大气研究卫星（UARS）。 主要研究者有 一直在南极洲进行类似的测量， 过去几年中的几个年度臭氧洞现象。 PI的必要支持资金由NASA提供。

This grant supplies logistical and field support to make millimeter wavelength radio measurements of the stratospheric gases, ozone, nitrous oxide and, especially, chlorine monoxide. The measurements will be made from McMurdo, Antarctica. The purpose is to provide "ground truth" for the similar microwave emission spectrometer on NASA's Upper Atmospheric Research Satellite (UARS). The PI has been making similar measurements from Antarctica to study the annual ozone hole phenomena for several of the past few years. The necessary support funds for the PI are being supplied by NASA.
