SOLVE  

Definition

  • The SAGE III (Stratospheric and Atmospheric Gas Experiment III) Ozone Loss and Validation Experiment (SOLVE) is an experimental field campaign sponsored by NASA. The SOLVE campaign is designed to examine the processes which control polar to mid-latitude stratospheric ozone levels. The mission will be staged during the 1999-2000 northern winter from Kiruna, Sweden. The SOLVE campaign will employ the NASA ER-2, NASA DC-8, the OMS in-situ and remote sensing balloon payloads, ground station observations, and an extensive theory team. The results of SOLVE will be both expand understanding of polar ozone processes, and will provide greater confidence in current ozone monitoring capabilities. This knowledge provides the basis for setting sound public policies which will help to preserve the Earth's ozone layer. Final data will be archived in July 2000. THESEO-2000 opertes in collaboration with the NASA SAGE III Ozone Loss and Validation Experiment (SOLVE).
