Abstract
Nocturnal ozone densities between 32 and 72 km have been derived from observations of the full moon, made by three optical ozone detectors, each comprising three ultraviolet photometers. The three similar detectors were carried on a single spinning rocket, launched at Wallops Island on November 4, 1979. The mean of the three measured ozone profiles is consistent with other nighttime ozone profiles obtained from the LRIR satellite experiment and also from ground based millimeter wave observations. The relative standard error in the mean ozone profile is approximately 5%. At 70 km the ozone concentration of 1.5×109 cm−3 is a factor of three greater than the U.S. Standard Atmosphere, 1976 mid latitude daytime model.
