| Abstract: | The results of 21 rocket flights of Arcas optical ozonesondes have been combined to produce estimates of the mean ozone distribution and its variability which apply to a broad range of latitudes. The flights were launched at sites from near the equator to 58°S and to 64°N in the years from 1965 to 1971. The local-noon mean ozone densities in molecules/cubic centimeter are 7.0×1010 at 50 kw, 6.7×1011 at 40 km, 3.1×1012 at 30 km, and 3.1×1012 at 20 km. The maximum density is 4.5×1012 at 24 km. The range of observed densities is about ±30% of the mean value at 50 km, ±40% at 40 km, ±40% at 30 km and +200%, –66% at 20 km. The variabilities at the higher altitudes in this set of observations are much less than that indicated from previous measurements. |
