Summary
Since 1980, a millimeter-wave radiotelescope located at the Bordeaux Observatory has been used to monitor mesospheric ozone at 110.836 GHz and carbon monoxide at 115.271 GHz. The used equipment is briefly described. Observations of ozone carried out during the four past years will be presented, including results concerning the ozone intercomparison campaign of June 1981 and the european MAP/GLOBUS campaign of September 1983.
From the observed spectra we derive : i) integrated ozone content above an altitude of about 40 km ; ii) vertical concentration profiles above 40 km deduced from model-fitting computations by using temperature profiles obtained by LIDAR measurements at the Observatoire de Haute- Provence and collisional broadening coefficients measured at the laboratory ; iii) diurnal variationsfrom different altitude ranges.
