Chapter 3 _____________________________________________ Constructing an Ozone Sounding
VAISALA_______________________________________________________________________ 43
Preparations 7 to 3 Days Prior to Release
This phase consists of checking the overall performance of the ozone
sensor, and charging the sensor with the sensing solution. A Model
TSC-1 Ozonizer/Test Unit is used to check the overall sensor
performance.
The purpose of these preparations is to make sure that the ozone sensor
functions properly and can be used in an ozone sounding.
The limit values mentioned here are valid only for SPC ECC-6A ozone
sensor. For other ozone sensors, create and use a modified checklist.
Preparation Steps
To enable smooth operation, place all the necessary parts on a table, but
leave some free space in front of the ozonizer, if necessary.
1. Write down the following information:
Date: _______ Station: _________ Operator: __________
2. Check the label on the flight box and record the information here.
Ozone sensor number:
Manufacturer:
Date of manufacture:
Pump pressure:____________ in Hg
WARNING
The chemicals involved in an ozone sounding can be harmful, and
must be handled with proper care. To ensure your working safety, take
all the necessary precautions before beginning the preparations for a
flight. Read the sensor manuals carefully. Follow the local laboratory
work practices, regulations, and waste management guidelines. Use
disposable gloves to avoid dust and other contaminants. The gloves
must be lint-free and made of artificial fabric or plastic. RSA411
Ozone Interface Kit does not include gloves.
NOTE
Make sure to perform the initial preparations early enough, from 1
week to 3 days before the ozone sounding release. This must be done
to attain a low sensor background current and a fast sensor response to
ozone.
