Systematic lidar measurements of the stratospheric ozone vertical distribution

Lidar measurements of ozone vertical profiles.

Remote measurements of trace constituents using an active technique such as lidar have been made possible for the rapid development of powerful tunable laser sources. This paper, originally presented at the OSA Topical Meeting on Optical Remote Sensing of the Atmosphere, in January 1985, illustrates the differential absorption lidar technique used for the measurement of the ozone vertical distr...

Intercomparison of stratospheric ozone and temperature measurements

Intercomparison of stratospheric ozone and temperature measurements at the Observatoire de Haute Provence during the OTOIC NDSC validation campaign from 1–18 July 1997 G. O. Braathen, S.

Stratospheric aerosol measurements by dual polarisation lidar

We present measurements of stratospheric aerosol made at Aberystwyth, UK (52.4 N, 4.06 W) during periods of background aerosol conditions. The measurements were made with a lidar system based on a 532 nm laser and two polarisation channels in the receiver. When stratospheric aerosol amounts are very small, as at present, this method is, potentially, free of a number of systematic errors that be...
