Abstract

A new lidar system capable of simultaneous measurements of stratospheric ozone, temperature and aerosol profiles has been successfully built and tested. A detailed description of the design and implementation this new system will be given elsewhere [Walsh et al, 1993]. In this paper we will present some initial measurements made with this lidar and some intercomparisons with the existing stratospheric lidar at the JPL-Table Mountain Facility (TMF). Ozone profiles are obtained using the differential absorption lidar (DIAL) technique extended to include two Raman channels for aerosol correction [Singh et al, 1992]; temperature profiles are obtained from Rayleigh and Raman scattering lidar; aerosol backscatter ratio profiles are obtained from comparison of the elastic and Raman backscattered lidar signals.
