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 campaign focused on understanding how ozone is moved from tropical and polar regions to midlatitudes. TOTE-VOTE had one deployment from December 1995 to February 1996, covering the Pacific Ocean, Hawaii, Alaska, Iceland, and the Arctic. The NASA DC-8 aircraft was equipped with remote sensing 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. Additional ground-based lidar and balloon sonde measurements were also taken. TOTE-VOTE was funded through NASA’s Upper Atmosphere Research Program.
