Ozone profiles from 30 to 110 km measured by the occultation radiometer instrument during the period Aug 1992-Apr 1993

Abstract

We present ozone volume mixing ratio profiles obtained by the ORA instrument during the period Aug 1992-Apr 1993. They have been retrieved by applying a specific inversion algorithm to a radiometric UV channel contaminated by Rayleigh scattering. The results compare reasonably well with other instruments up to the mesopause and are probably the first extended ozone data in the lower thermosphere (90-110 km).
