Concentration of atmospheric ozone: 2012 Western Pacific Transect
Measuring atmospheric ozone in the marine boundary layer was monitored from March 14 to March 31 by the Thermo 49i O3 analyzer along the cruise track of R/V Araon from Christchurch to Incheon, carrying out a series of expeditions in the Western Pacific. The air inlet to the instrument wa located at 29 m asl and the O3 was measured at 0.017 Hz. Tropospheric ozone (O3) is a strong greenhouse gas and it has been significantly increasing during the last century. Moreover it is an important air pollutant which adversely influence to the human health and ecosystems. Therefore our continuous shipborne measurement will help understand global radiative forcing and anthropogenic influences in the atmosphere.
