Recent ozonesonde data (2004-2006) are on our anonymous ftp site: cat.uwyo.edu in the directory ftp://cat.uwyo.edu/pub/permanent/balloon/Ozone_Profiles_McMurdo/. The 2006 data are preliminary because of a change in the cathode solution strength and the way pump inefficiency at low pressures is handled. A final decision about how to finally process these data has not been made.

The archived (NDACC, see below) 2005 and 2004 data can also be found here.

1986-2005 - University of Wyoming ozone profile measurements are avaiblabe on the data base of the Network for the Detection of Atmospheric Composition and Change (NDACC, http://www.ndacc.org/, formerly the Network for the Detection of Stratopheric Change (NDSC).

Acknowledgments: These measurements have been supported by the National Science Foundation, Office of Polar Programs under numerous grants. The current grant is OPP-0538679
