Abstract

In July, 1989, the Goddard Space Flight Center mobile stratospheric lidar was deployed at JPL's Table Mountain Facility in the San Gabriel Mountains east of Los Angeles (34.4N, 117.7W). The purpose was a major intercomparison of ozone sensors in order to validate the lidar technique as a reliable, accurate and precise instrument for the measurement of stratospheric ozone. The GSFC lidar data have also been used to extract a temperature profile between 30 and 65 km. The temperature retrieval utilizes the ozone profile reference wavelength (355 nm) which is essentially no absorption due to ozone. Because the retrieval is sensitive to aerosols, no attempt is made to extract temperature below 30 km.
