Aerosol, Ozone, Temperature, Water Vapor Lidar (STROZ) at Mauna Loa, HI, United States

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 ~10 km. 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.
