Measurements of the trace composition of the Austral stratosphere: Chemical and meteorological data
Abstract
Between March and October 1979 eleven balloon flights were conducted to study the trace composition of the southern hemisphere stratosphere using launch sites at Alice Springs 23 deg S and Mildura 34 deg S in Australia. Balloon-borne measurements of NO, NO2, HNO3, O3, N2O, CCL3F, H2O, CH4, particles and various meteorological parameters along with ground based total (column density) O3 and NO2 measurements are presented.
