In situ ozone data for comparison with laser absorption remote sensor: 1980 pepe/neros program

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6428980
Several sets of in situ ozone (O/sub 3/) measurements were made by a NASA aircraft in support of the laser absorption spectrometer (LAS) remote sensor. These measurements were designed to provide comparative O/sub 3/ data for the LAS sensor. The LAS, which was flown on a second aircraft, remotely measured the vertical burden of O/sub 3/ from the aircraft to the surface. In situ results of the air quality (O/sub 3/ and B sub scat) and meteorological (temperature and dewpoint) parameters for three correlative missions are presented. The aircraft flight plans, in situ concentration profiles and vertical burdens, and measurement errors are summarized.
