NASA reported that scientists and engineers from five countries (Australia, Canada, India, Japan, and the United States) had met at WFC to compare techniques of gathering data on ozone in the stratosphere. Instruments in use worldwide had used different techniques of measurement and had never compared for system errors or other biases. The joint effort was sponsored by the World Meteorological Organization, FAA, and NASA.
Over a 14-day period beginning October 21, the group would perform 20 rocket-borne experiments to establish instrument precision and comparability; the resulting information should define ozone variability during the period. Measuring instruments would fly on four kinds of rockets (Orion, Nike Orion, Super Areas, Super Loki) scheduled to coincide with orbiting-satellite passes, to compare rocket measurements with those from the satellites. Ozone data would also come from meteorological rockets and balloons as well as from ground-based equipment. (NASA Release 79-130; WFC Release 79-17)
