Tropical Ozone Transport Experiment – Vortex Ozone Transport Experiment

The Campaign

The Tropical Ozone Transport Experiment - Vortex Ozone Transport Experiment (TOTE-VOTE) was a NASA field investigation that focused on understanding the transport process of ozone from tropical and polar regions to midlatitudes. TOTE-VOTE had 1 deployment from December 1995 to February 1996 across the Pacific Ocean, Hawaii, Alaska, Iceland, and the Arctic. NASA DC-8 aircraft was equipped with remote and in situ sensors such as the Differential Absorption Lidar (DIAL), Microwave Temperature Profiler (MTP), Multiple-Angle Aerosol Spectrometer (MASP), and Differential Absorption Carbon monOxide Measurement (DACOM) to measure ozone and other trace gases. Complementary ground-based lidar and balloon sonde measurements were also collected. TOTE-VOTE was funded through NASA’s Upper Atmosphere Research Program.
