Belgrano
Located at Nunatak Bertrab in Weddell Sea. It belongs to Dirección Nacional del Antártico (DNA) from Argentine. INTA holds a Research Agreement with DNA since 1993 for atmospheric studies. This base is only reachable once a year (during austral summer) by sea or air.
Measurements:
- - O3 and NO2 all year round.
- - O3, temperature, humidity and wind (speed and direction) from the surface to aprox. 30 km.
- - Surface ozone
- - Backscattering signal returns from Polar Stratospheric (PSC) and Tropospheric Clouds
- - BrO and OCIO column
Aim: Research on Polar Stratosphere and its relationships with the ozone depletion phenomena
Deployed instrumentation:
- - EVA Spectrometer (DOAS)
- - Ozonesounder Marwin Digicora 15
- - Surface ozone TEI 49C
- - Micro Pulse Lidar version 4 (MPL-4)
- - NEVAII MAX-DOAS
Available data:
- - NO2 and Ozone total columns (since 1994) to date.
- - Ozone, temperature, humidity and wind (speed and direction) profilessince 1999 to date
- - Surface ozone sinde January 2007 to date.
- - Backscattering coefficients, backscattering ratio and volume depolarization parameter of the Polar Stratospheric (PSC) and Tropospheric Clouds, since February 2009
- - BrO and OCIO column since February 2011
