Investigation of Arctic ozone depletion sampled over midlatitudes during the Egrett campaign of spring/summer 2000
A unique halocarbon dataset has been obtained using the Australian high altitude research aircraft, the Grob G520T Egrett, during May-June 2000 with GC instrument (DIRAC), which has been previously deployed on balloon platforms. The halocarbon data generally shows a good anticorrelation with ozone d...

A unique halocarbon dataset has been obtained using the Australian high altitude research aircraft, the Grob G520T Egrett, during May-June 2000 with GC instrument (DIRAC), which has been previously deployed on balloon platforms.

On 5 June 2000, at 380K, the Egrett entered a high latitude tongue of air over the U.K. CFC-11 and O 3 data obtained on the flight show evidence of this feature. The dataset has been used, in conjunction with a 3D chemical transport model, to infer ozone depletion encountered in the midlatitude lower stratosphere during the flight.
