J. T. Sullivan (GSFC), L. Twigg (SSAI), and G. Sumnicht (SSAI) — The STROZ lidar retrieves ozone vertical profiles in the stratosphere from 10 to 50 km. Temperature to ~80 km and aerosols (at 355 nm) to 35 km also are measured. The instrument has also been modified to measure water vapor from near the ground to ~15 km. When not participating in campaigns, the instrument conducts measurements at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, MD. The STROZ lidar participated in the ozone and water vapor comparisons during the WAVES 2008 and 2009 campaigns. Data through 2001 is archived in the name of the previous PI – McGee.
