Dataset
SAGE III: Level 2 Solar species profiles version 4, binary formatted
Abstract
Stratospheric Aerosol and Gas Experiment III (SAGE III) was an instrument on board a Meteor-3M spacecraft, launched on December 10, 2001. Routine measurement operations began in March 2002 until the SAGE III mission was terminated in March 2006. The specific measurement objectives of SAGE III provide 1 km vertical resolution profiles of: aerosols and clouds at seven wavelengths from the mid-troposphere into the stratosphere and where appropriate, the mesosphere; O3 from the mid-troposphere to 85 km; H2O from the planetary boundary layer to 50 km; NO2 from the tropopause to 45 km; NO3 from 20 to 55 km; OClO from 15 to 25 km; and, O2 from the mid-troposphere to 70 km.
This dataset contains level 2 version 4 solar species profiles of aerosols, ozone, water vapour, nitrogen dioxide, temperature and pressure.
The Level 2 Solar Species products are produced from the Level 1B Transmission profiles by using algorithms.

Restricted data: please submit an application using the REQUEST ACCESS link for access.
Use of these data is covered by the following licence: http://licences.ceda.ac.uk/image/data_access_condition/sage3.pdf. When using these data you must cite them correctly using the citation given on the CEDA Data Catalogue record. |
| Data lineage: |
The Stratospheric Aerosol and Gas Experiment III (SAGE III) data were downloaded from the EOS Data Gateway, Langley DAAC Data Pool and it should be noted that the version number on that system represents the Earth Science Data Type version rather than the SAGE III Data version. Accordingly, the newly-released V3 data are stored as version '002'. Data and software supplied to the BADC by NASA Langley are stored in the BADC SAGE 3 archive. |
