Julich Ozone Sonde Intercomparison Experiment (JOSIE) data Balloon Experiment on Standards for Ozonesondes (BESOS) data
Abstract
--------
In order to assess the performance of various electrochemical ozonesondes and to guarantee consistency in ozonesonde data the environmental simulation facility at the Forschungszentrum Juelich has been established in 1994 as the World Calibration Centre for Ozone Sondes (WCCOS; link = https://www.wccos-josie.org/en/wccos) of WMO-GAW as part of their Quality Assurance (QA) plan. Beginning in 1996, a series of JOSIE (link = https://www.wccos-josie.org/en/josie) (Juelich Ozone Sonde Intercomparison Experiment) campaigns (link = https://www.wccos-josie.org/de/josie/josie-activities-on-ozonesonde-procedures-and-related-reports) has since been conducted at the WCCOS to evaluate different ozonesonde types [Smit et al., J. Geophys. Res., 2007; Smit et al., 2023, Atm. Meas. Tech., 2023].
In 2004 the WMO BESOS (Balloon Experiment on Standards for Ozonesondes) field campaign, carried out in Laramie (Wyoming, USA), deployed a large gondola with 18 ozonesondes and the OPM of WCCOS (Deshler et al., J. Geophys. Res. 2008) with results similar to those of JOSIE.
