Abstract
The NASA Goddard Space Flight Center's Stratospheric Ozone Lidar Trailer Experiment participated in the Stratospheric Ozone Intercomparison Campaign (STOIC) at Table Mountain, California, from July 20 to August 2, 1989. From 20 to 39 km the average Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) profile agreed with the STOIC reference profile to better than 5%. The STOIC reference profile was generated by averaging all profiles from the eight participating instruments. In this same altitude region the GSFC and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory lidar average profiles also agreed to better than 5%. Similar results were found for an intercomparison of the lidar data with ozone data from ECC sondes launched from Table Mountain and from San Nicholas Island. The results of the intercomparison have led to a number of modifications to the GSFC lidar which have greatly improved the reliability of the ozone data, particularly at altitudes below 20 km and above 40 km.
