Abstract

In recent years, knowledge of the vertical distribution of atmospheric ozone has been considerably increased, especially from data obtained by balloon-borne Ozonesondes [Hering and Borden, 1964]. The chemiluminescence ozonesonde developed by Regener [1960, 1964] and the bubbler-type electrochemical ozonesonde developed by Brewer and Milford [1960] are being used extensively for detailed measurements. These balloon-borne sondes do not reach the top of the ozone layer, and the ozone concentration in the upper layers is evaluated by the Umkehr method. The need for an ozonesonde capable of measuring the complete ozone distribution in the atmosphere is an obvious one. The Regener chemiluminescence ozonesonde, being a dry chemical instrument, is quite suitable for adaptation for use in a small rocket.
