Summary

Abstract: The SAGE III Ozone Loss and Validation Experiment (SOLVE) is a
measurement campaign designed to examine the processes which control
polar to mid-latitude stratospheric ozone levels.

SOLVE is an Arctic mission which was conducted over the course of the
1999-2000 winter. SOLVE employed aircraft, satellites, and balloons to
examine the processes which control polar to mid-latitude
stratospheric ozone levels. The mission also acquired correlative
measurements needed to validate the Stratospheric Aerosol and Gas
Experiment (SAGE) III satellite mission and used these satellite
measurements to help quantitatively assess high latitude ozone loss.
