Summary

A1 - Ozondesonde and CLASS Data

The Southern Oxidants Study (SOS) conducted a major field research
campaign in Nashville/Middle Tennessee area in June and July 1994 and
1995. The goal of this study was to improve scientific understanding
of the processes that control the production and distribution of ozone
in the troposphere.

The ... Georgia Institute of Technology (GIT) and the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) combined to launch a series of
ozondesondes and CLASS systems from the New Hendersonville Level III
(GIT) monitoring station and the Old Hickory weather stations (NOAA).
The New Hendersonville site is approximately 20 km NNE of the
Nashville, TN urban center and the Old Hickory site is about 23 km NE
of Nashville.

The CLASS system measured temperature, relative humidity, barometric
pressure, wind speed and wind direction. The GIT sondes measured
ozone, temperature, relative humidity, and barometric pressure. The
NOAA sondes measured ozone, temperature, relative humidity, barometric
pressure, wind speed, and wind direction.

The study was conducted from June 26 1995 through July 23, 1995.

The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) was the coordinator for the 1995
Southern Oxidants Study Nashville/Middle Tennessee Ozone Study. See:
