The NDACC station “Observatorio Atmosférico de la Patagonia Austral” in Río Gallegos (51.600496°S, 69.31946°W) is equipped with a differential absorption lidar (DIAL) for the measurement of profile ozone and with a SAOZ spectrometer for the measurement of total ozone and NO2. A GUV-541 filter radiometer measures UV radiation. The station is operated by the Lidar Division of CEILAP (Laser and Applications Research Center) and belongs to UNIDEF (MINDEF, (Ministerio de Defensa) and CONICET (Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas, Argentina)). It is supported by JICA. CEILAP is associated with LATMOS through a collaboration agreement. The University of Magallanes, Chile, collaborates with the ozone measurements and the Nagoya University has a millimetric wave radiometer for ozone profile measurement operating at the station. The following report has been written by the scientists at the station.
