Abstract

Abstract The rocket-borne ozonesonde, developed by the Atmospheric Sciences Laboratory, White Sands Missile Range (WSMR), N. Mex., has been deployed for the study of diurnal variation of ozone in the stratosphere and mesosphere. Five ozonesondes were rocket launched in January 1968 within a 24-hr period, and the data obtained showed ozone variations between day and night above the main ozone peak (22 km). The ozone concentration in the upper stratosphere increased during the night and decreased during the day. A significant decrease in the ozone concentration was observed after sunrise. A Mast electrochemical ozonesonde was also flown during this 24-hr period to compare the data from the two systems in the region of overlap.
