HALOE Looking at the Sun

Visualizations by Jesse Allen Released on April 9, 1999
The Halogen Occultation Experiment, HALOE, was designed to carefully monitor hydrogen fluoride and hydrogen chloride, byproducts of CFC destruction in the stratosphere. HALOE operates by observing the absorption of infrared radiation by these molecules against the rising and setting sun.
