SAGE III Data Sets |
The Stratospheric Aerosol and Gas Experiment III (SAGE III) obtains profile measurements of aerosol extinction, ozone, water vapor, nitrogen dioxide, nitrogen trioxide, chlorine dioxide, clouds, temperature and pressure in the mesosphere, stratosphere, and upper troposphere with a vertical resolution of 0.5 - 1 km resolution.
The first of the planned instruments is on board a Russian Meteor-3M(1) platform which launched on December 10, 2001. The second flight has not been identified.
