Abstract
AIRBORNE nitric oxide and ozone detectors have been carried on aircraft flights over the west coast of the United States to obtain in situ measurements of nitric oxide and ozone at altitudes up to 21 km. Results from two of these flights—December 6, 1973 from 1100 to 1430 local time (1900 – 2230 UT) and December 18. 1973 from 1030 to 1430 local time (1830–2230 UT)—are presented here. The experimental platform was one of two U-2 aircraft used in the NASA Earth Resources Aircraft Project at Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, California.
