Description:
The chemiluminescent ozonesonde to be flown with the STRATCOM balloon flight consisted of two main parts: (1) A constant-volume sampling pump made from TEFLON was used for the intake of the air sample. Sample was drawn at a rate of 200 millimeters per minute. (2) Ozone was detected by the chemiluminescent process (Rhodamine - B). Ozone molecules in the air sample flowed over the detector and the photons produced by the destruction of ozone molecules on the chemiluminescent material were monitored by the photomultiplier tube, the output signal from which was transmitted to the ground receiver.
