Abstract
Between November, 2015 and January, 2015, the Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) operated a pair of lidar instruments at the NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) facility at Mauna Loa on the Big Island of Hawaii (Latitude 19.5 degrees North, Longitude 155.5 degrees West, altitude 3.397 kilometers). Measurements were made during six different four week periods during this time period by both the NASA GSFC Stratospheric Ozone Lidar (STROZ) and the Aerosol and Temperature (ATL) lidar. Also making measurements were the JPL Stratospheric Ozone Lidar and the NOAA Aerosol and Water Vapor Lidar. All instruments participate and archive data with the Network for the Detection of Atmospheric Composition Change (NDACC). Measurement comparisons were made among various instruments in accordance with the standard intercomparison protocols of the NDACC.
Highlights
In August of 2012, the GSFC Stratospheric Ozone Lidar (STROZ) was shipped to Mauna Loa Observatory from a previous campaign at Lauder, New Zealand, for the purpose of an NDACC Measurement Validation Campaign
