Vertical ozone profile measurements

Database of direct measurements Balloon-borne ozonesonde flights, microwave radiometer measurements, and ozone lidar measurements, made from Lauder (45.04oS, 169.68oE), New Zealand. Archives of the measurements are maintained at NIWA, Lauder, and in various international data archives. A combined data set of satellite-based vertical ozone profile measurements is maintained at NIWA using measurements from a variety of satellite-based instruments including SAGE I, SAGE II, SAGE III, ILAS I, ILAS II, HALOE, POAM II, POAM III, GOMOS, MIPAS, SCIAMACHY, OSIRIS.

Purpose
Measurements made at Lauder are used to monitor changes in the vertical distribution of ozone above New Zealand and to validate satellite-based vertical ozone profile measurements. The satellite-based measurements are used to provide a global context for the ozone changes over New Zealand and to attribute ozone changes over New Zealand to changes elsewhere eg over the Antarctic or over the tropics. Measurements at Lauder are representative of changes in the vertical distribution of ozone over New Zealand as a whole. Satellite-based measurements can be combined to provide a global picture of changes in stratospheric ozone.
