Measurements of the total amount of ozone in the vertical column of the atmosphere from a ground based Dobson spectrophotometer at Arrival Heights, Antarctica
Entry ID:
K085_1988_2012_NZ_1
Summary
Abstract:
Atmospheric ozone is important to mankind because it absorbs most ultraviolet and other high energy radiation harmful to life, preventing it from reaching the earth's surface. A rapid loss of more than half of the ozone over Antarctica occurs in the springtime (= ozone hole). A Dobson spectrophotometer was installed at Arrival Heights in January 1988. The first full season of measurements began ...

The data is submitted to the World Ozone and UV Data Centre, to the Network for the Detection of Atmospheric Composition Change (NDACC) database and to the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) for use in its Antarctic ozone bulletins. It is up to date and freely available via these websites.
Data is held internally by NIWA and in the NDACC database. "Raw" data are times and instrument settings for instrument readings and "derived" data are colomn amounts of ozone. For access to this information please contact the investigators. If you would like information on the instrument please contact Sylvia Nicol. Ancillary Keywords
