abstract = "Atmospheric soundings (in troposphere and lower stratosphere) to
measure ozone and meteorological profiles have been made at the
Southern Space Observatory, Brazil (29.4S, 53.8W) since 1996. In
this work, a total of 50 launchings between November 1996 and
December 2000 are analysed. All of them achieved at least the
tropopause level, which local average altitude is around 17.5 km.
Around 54 % of the soundings show a secondary ozone peak in the
troposphere. The secondary ozone peak average altitude is 3,362 m,
but the peaks occurrence spreads over the range 0.9 - 6.1 km. The
ozone partial pressure average in this altitude range is 19.5 ±
3.5 \μ hPa without the peaks, while the peaks only have an
average of the 38.8 ± 10.6 \μ hPa. The peaks seasonal
distribution is uneven, with occurrences mainly in November, with
10 events, and December, with 7 events, meaning 91 % and 70 % of
the monthly soundings, respectively. Both these months and January
are the months with maximum biomass burning in the region of the
Rio Grande do Sul State for the same period (1996 -- 2000)
according to NOAA-12 satellite data. These could indicate that the
sources of the secondary peak are due to biomass burning events.",
