Ozone and flight planning

[snow-back]

Where do you find information about ozone concentrations at the flight levels?

Thanks

Here's a website with a lot of good data:

www.ozonelayer.noaa.gov

Couldn't find anything by flight level, though.

A call to NWA might come in handy. They have their own meteorology department (one of the few that still do) and provide ozone concentration locations to crews, which are then plotted out on a chart. Dispatch files the flight plan accordingly. Have mostly seen them during Minneapolis-Anchorage trips.
