dc.description.abstractHundreds of SPARC scientists have used ozone and temperature data from the Southern Hemisphere Additional Ozonesondes (SHADOZ) network but may not know that SHADOZ is in its 25th year. Initiated in 1998 as a partnership among NASA, NOAA, and partners in 15 nations (Thompson et al., 2003), SHADOZ has archived more than 9200 ozone and pressure-temperature-humidity (PTU) profile pairs collected throughout the tropics and subtropics. The ozone data are obtained from electrochemical concentration cell (ECC) sondes flown with standard radiosondes on a balloon.en_US
dc.description.sponsorshipThe SHADOZ project has received ongoing support from NASA’s Upper Atmosphere Composition Observations Program (previously Upper Atmosphere Research Program) with special thanks to Drs. K. W. Jucks and J. A. Kaye. Additional resources have been provided from Aura and NASA’s JPSS Project. We are also grateful to our partnership with NOAA/GML (B. J. Johnson) and the dozens of operators and other personnel from around the world who have tirelessly collected sonde data for 25 years.en_US
