A proposed VHF radar experiment in relation to stratospheric pollution problems

Abstract

There is no need to stress here the importance of current strato­spheric research motivated by possible man-made disturbances of the natural chemical equilibrium state of ozone in the stratosphere. The subject is discussed not only in the technical literature but in newspapers, magazines and television programs. This includes the effects of high flying aircraft, fluor carbon releases from aerosol cans and airconditioning units and more recently the effects of enhanced soil production of N20 as a consequence of the use of artificial fertilizers.
