Southern Hemisphere ADditional OZonesondes (SHADOZ)

SHADOZ is a NASA project to augment and archive balloon-borne ozonesonde launches and to archive data from tropical and remote operational sites. The project was initiated in 1998 by NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, the NOAA/Global Monitoring Division, and international co-investigators. There are currently fourteen stations launching ozonesondes in the SHADOZ network. The collective data set provides the first climatology of tropical ozone in the equatorial region, enhances validation studies aimed at improving satellite remote sensing techniques for tropical ozone estimations, and serves as an educational tool to students, especially in participating countries.
