This dataset contains ozone and backscatter measurements from the CNRS UV LIDAR onboard the UPMC-SA Mystere aircraft flown during the European eXport of Precursors and Ozone by long-Range Transport (EXPORT) project .

The primary objective of EXPORT was to characterise and quantify the photochemical air pollution both forming over Europe and being exported eastwards from Europe. The data held at BADC were collected during a co-ordinated 3 aircraft flying campaign in August 2000 based at Oberpfaffenhofen in Southern Germany. Measurements were made of many photochemical parameters including ozone, its precursors, other oxidants and both gas phase and particulate tracers in the air over Europe and that being transported eastwards out of Europe.
