M. Tully (Bureau of Meteorology) — Weekly ECC sondes year-round since 1994.

M. Tully (Bureau of Meteorology) — Daily observations with Dobson #006 from 9 December 1986 to 23 December 1993, with Dobson #012 from 23 December 1993 to 27 November 1997, with Dobson #006 20 November 1997 to 15 March 2002, with Dobson #012 from 15 March 2002 to 5 April 2006, with Dobson #006 from 6 April 2006 to 19 March 2017, and with Dobson #012 since 20 March 2017.

K. Strong (U. Toronto) — Stratospheric Ozone Lidar system (SOLID) deployed in February 1993 under PI A. Carswell. Nighttime operations only. SOLID has five detection channels: two Rayleigh channels for stratospheric ozone and temperature (308 and 353 nm), two Raman channels to improve the ozone and temperature profiles in the presence of aerosols (332 and 385 nm, installed in 1994), and one Raman channel for water vapour (405 nm, installed in 1998). Operation suspended for 2002 and 2003. Operations resumed in 2004–2009 on a campaign basis schedule (~2 weeks in February-March) under PI K. Strawbridge. Operation suspended for 2010-2016 due to technical and funding issues. Operations resumed under PI J. Drummond since 2017 on the ~4–6 week period leading up to polar sunrise in January—March and ~2 week period in October-November. Operations since April 2020 have been affected by the lack of on-site support due to the COVID-19 pandemic, funding, and restricted access to the Ridge Lab. Since 2020 the PI of SOLID and PEARL is Kimberly Strong (University of Toronto).

Early data exist in the database for 1993–1998 and 2004–2009 in NASA Ames format. Since 2017 the data are submitted in HDF format.

N Kämpfer (U. Bern) — Profiles (~25 – 70 km) obtained with a water vapor radiometer on a daily basis from May 2014 to February 2015.

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. As a mobile intercomparator, it has participated in ozone intercomparisons at the Table Mountain Facility February/March 1992, February/March 1997, June 2004, June 2005, October 2009 (MOHAVE), and February–March 2011. Data through 2011 is archived in the name of the previous PI – McGee.

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. As a mobile intercomparator, it has participated in ozone intercomparisons at Lauder October–December 1992, March–October 1994, April 1995, September–December 2001, April 2002, June–July 2011, and April 2012. Data through 2012 is archived in the name of the previous PI – McGee.

As a mobile intercomparator, it has participated in ozone and temperature intercomparisons at Mauna Loa from June 1995–February 1996, August 2002, November 2012–August 2013, and January 2014. The 1995-1996 data is archived in the name of the previous PI – McGee.

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.
