Ozone soundings data (1995 - 1998)

Ozone soundings were obtained from three different sources:

Brief description

The World Ozone and Ultraviolet Radiation Data Centre (WOUDC) is one of six recognised World Data Centres which are part of the Global Atmosphere Watch (GAW) programme which in turn is part of the World MeteorologicalOrganization (WMO). The WOUDC is operated by theExperimental Studies Division of the Meteorlogical Services of Canada (MSC), Environment Canada and is located in Toronto. The WOUDC began as the World Ozone Data Centre (WODC) in 1960 and in June 1992, the MSC agreed to a request from the WMO to add ultraviolet radiation data to the WODC. The Data Centre has since been renamed the World Ozone and Ultraviolet Radiation Data Centre (WOUDC) with the two component parts: the WODC and the World Ultraviolet Radiation Data Centre (WUDC).

A list of stations and additional information e.g. on instrument type can be found here.

The NADIR database at NILU stores data from most of the ozonesondes launched in Europe and also from a few other stations during campaigns. NILU was a data centre and archiving centre during the EASOE and SESAME experiments, and later for the EU project OSDOC.
