Abstract

This paper describes the results of two recent stratospheric balloon flights of the Balloon-borne Laser In-Situ Sensor (BLISS) instrument1,2,3, and compares them with measurements made using remote sensing techniques, and with photochemical model predictions. This comparison is used to illustrate the complementarity of in-situ and remote sensing methods, and to further define the role of in-situ measurements for satellite ground-truth and correlative measurements.
