Balloon Borne Measurements in the Arctic Vortex

摘要9423285罗森这项研究涉及极地平流层云(PSCS)和北极冬季低涡臭氧的两种观测方法的应用。第一种方法使用气球携带的气溶胶和粒子仪器，在PSC开始形成和演化的同时测量臭氧浓度，并与固定的空气质量一起漂浮许多天。第二种方法涉及在几个北极站使用类似设备进行正常的气球探测，与第一种方法不同，这种方法将提供固定位置上PSC演变的信息。该项目是正在进行的成功的国际努力(美国、俄罗斯、德国、丹麦和芬兰)的延续和完善，是确定和量化北极平流层臭氧损失的一种新方法。***

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. ***
