While the SAGE II Mission was active, it provided the scientific community
with a global depiction of the distribution of aerosol, ozone, water vapor
and nitrogen dioxide over a period of 21 years. Using these models of
distribution, SAGE II contributed unique and crucial input to the
understanding of global, seasonal and inter-annual variability in climate
and, in particular, trends in stratospheric ozone. SAGE II is now the
predecessor to the SAGE III Mission, which is continuing the valuable
research of the SAGE Program. |
