Extreme Values of Ozone Observed in the AFCRL Ozonesonde Network


Book Description

Values of maximum and 90 percentile ozone amounts observed during operation of the AFCRL ozonesonde network in North America are presented. The 90 percentile values are shown in cross section as a function of season, latitude, and altitude. The maximum values are represented by profiles of ozone versus altitude without regard to season or latitude. These results have application to the problems of ozone toxicity, harmful effects of ozone on vehicle components, and target detection by ultraviolet optical techniques. (Author).







Synopsis of Background Material for MIL-STD-210B, Climatic Extremes for Military Equipment


Book Description

The Design Climatology Branch of the Air Force Cambridge Research Laboratories had the scientific responsibility for leading a DoD Task Group effort to revise MIL-STD-210A 'Climatic Extremes for Military Equipment'. This document represents the fruition of the goals of the task group. It relates the background studies supporting the values in MIL-STD-210B, so that MIL-STD-210B users need to consult only this single document for an elaboration on the MIL- STD-210B extremes. In addition, the report contains information on the origin, necessity for and the events leading to a revision of MIL-STD-210A. Discussions of the major changes in the Standard's philosophy and its contents are also provided.
