Dear Colleagues, 
 
The SAGE III team at NASA Langley Research Center would like to announce
the initial release of the SAGE III aerosol, ozone, and
NO2 dataset.&nbsp; The dataset provides
vertical aerosol extinction profiles at wavelengths of 385, 449, 521,
601, 676, 755, 868, 1020, 1550 nm, and vertical concentration profiles of
ozone and nitrogen dioxide. 
Validation activity for this dataset is still ongoing with the SOLVE-2
campaign, and will not be completed until the latter part of 2003.&nbsp;
However, preliminary comparisons have been performed between this dataset
and concurrent SAGE II, HALOE, POAM III, and ozonesonde data.&nbsp; The
results from the preliminary comparison study indicated that the SAGE III
dataset is consistent with the correlative measurements. 
Interested users should closely examine the data quality summary document
accompanying this dataset.&nbsp; It contains important information
regarding (1) the nature of the data product, (2) the changes in the
retrieval algorithms from those described in the ATBD’s, and (3)
advisories for using this data. 
This dataset is being archived at the Atmospheric Sciences Data Center
(ASDC) at NASA Langley Research Center and is available through their
website at
<a href="http://eosweb.larc.nasa.gov/PRODOCS/sage3/table_sage3.html" eudora="autourl">http://eosweb.larc.nasa.gov/PRODOCS/sage3/table_sage3.html</a>.
The SAGE III aerosol, ozone, and nitrogen dioxide dataset can also be
accessed through the SAGE III Website at
