Climatology of NOy in the troposphere and UT/LS from measurements made in MOZAIC
In December 2000, a fully automatic NOy instrument was installed on one of the five Airbus A340 aircraft used in the MOZAIC project (Measurement of Ozone and Water Vapour by Airbus in-service Aircraft) for measurements of O3 and H2O since 1994. This long-range aircraft was operated by Lufthansa, mai...
