Abstract |
The report contains data for the chemical and meteorological parameters measured aloft during the 26 aircraft flights and for analyses performed on the Tedlar bag samples collected during vertical profiles. The data from the continuous instruments were recorded at ten second intervals during profiles and at one minute intervals at other times. Occasional spurious readings, usually caused by interfering signals, must be disregarded. The first four flights were made before all the instrumentation was operational and were used for check-out purposes. Asterisks are placed between the UV columns when the aircraft was in level flight. Other UV readings are not necessarily valid. Altitudes recorded by the transducer have been corrected for barometric pressure and instrument error by empirical equations, and most residual errors are less than 50 feet. (Author) |
