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 an ozone intercomparison in Ny Ålesund in September 1997 and January–February 1998. The 1997-1998 data is archived in the name of the previous PI – McGee.
