The Campaign

The Photochemistry of Ozone Loss in the Arctic Region In Summer (POLARIS) campaign aimed to understand the seasonal behavior of polar stratospheric ozone as it shifts from very high concentrations in spring to very low levels in autumn. POLARIS involved three deployments based in California, Alaska, and Hawaii during the boreal spring, summer, and fall of 1997. Airborne observations of nitrogen, halogen, and hydrogen compounds, along with aerosols, were complemented by balloon measurements such as ozonesondes and radiosondes. POLARIS was funded by NASA in partnership with NOAA.
