The primary activity of the Ozone Unit at present is logistical support for the current intense phase of the arctic stratosphere component of THESEO, the third major coordinated European research effort to investigate ozone. The six week arctic field campaign has so far suffered from inclement meteorological conditions but recently conditions have improved and at the time of writing polar stratospheric clouds (PSCs) have been observed in the Arctic and recent halogen activation has been indicated by models.
The unit also acts as a centre for the NERC UT/LS Ozone programme.
Through AERONET the unit helps to foster links between the European aerospace industrial community and the scientific community. Over the coming months the unit will be preparing for the first call for proposals in the 5th Framework Programme and for the upcoming 5th European Workshop on Stratospheric Ozone to be held at St. Jean de Luz near Biarritz (formerly held in Schliersee, Bavaria).
