dc.description.abstractBalloon-borne ozone instrumentation (ozonesondes), launched at fixed sites, is used to study local patterns in stratospheric and tropospheric ozone and to provide validation for satellite ozone products and model calculations of ozone. A paucity of coordinated ozonesonde data in the southern hemisphere tropics is being remedied in a 3-year project of coordinated ozonesondes launches at 10 sites. The data are available to the scientific community at the SHADOZ website at NASA/Goddard. Stations and their operational characteristics, with examples of ozone observations, are given. One expectation of SHADOZ is that wide dissemination of data and interaction with users and field projects will leverage local funding to maintain infrastructure and operations. SHADOZ data are well-suited for educational projects in which students learn about regional ozone patterns.
dc.description.sponsorshipSHADOZ is supported by NASA's ACMAP Program and the TOMS project. Individual SHA[X)Z sites arc also supported by in country agencies and universities, NOAA, NAS.&WFF. N.-LSDA (Japan), SAWB (S. Africa), INPE (Brazil), and the Swiss Meteorological Agency.
