for additional information.The horizontal display interval of the full flight images depends on the length of the flight. The horizontal display interval on the other images is 4 seconds. Both nadir and zenith data are imaged together. In the aerosol images, a black trace appears at the aircraft altitude. In the ozone images, in situ ozone measurements appear at the aircraft altitude. Only one color scale is used for the ozone images, except for the full flight images that are available in two color scales. Only one color scale is used for the aerosol images. The vertical scale factor is consistent between images. Aerosol data are reported as Atmospheric Scattering Ratios on a logarithmic scale. Ozone data are reported as mixing ratios (ppbv) on a linear scale.
