Box weighs 27 kg (60 lb.), 24.6 x 40.6 x 45.7 cm (9.7x16x18.1”), 45.6 liters. Inlet Pump (KNF model 627), and two gas cylinders (N 2 carrier & reference gas) adds another 9 kg (20 lbs.) Measures O 3 once every 10 seconds (commercial unit 2B,Inc.) Measures N 2 O, SF 6 every 70 seconds and CO, H 2, CH 4 every 140 seconds. On board calibration. Also measures water vapor (Maycomm, LLC), relative humidity, and ambient temperature (Vaisala LTD. probe) once every second. New improved ozone and H 2 O instruments supported by NASA. Compounds in red are measured by NASA Aura Satellite Instruments. Unmanned aircraft systems Chromatograph for Atmospheric Species (UCATS) In bay #25 of Global Hawk

Summary Overflight of the Global Hawk over the GV during HIPPO/3 produced similar tracer-tracer relationships with structure. Breakup of the polar vortex with low ozone during HIPPO/3 and GloPac was observed in filaments. Agreement of ozone loss between ozone loss and model simulation.
