Abstract

NRL's Polar Ozone and Aerosol Measurement Experiment (POAM II) makes solar occultation measurements through the earth's atmospheric limb to provide the distribution of atmospheric aerosols, PSC's, and several molecular species critical for understanding ozone chemistry in the polar stratosphere. The early results from POAM II are presently being validated against in situ balloon borne instruments and remote sensing measurements from both the surface and other satellite platforms. The monthly zonal mean profiles of the POAM II results will be compared with the CIRA (COSPAR International Reference Atmosphere) ozone models.
