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 an ozone and temperature intercomparisons at Cabauw in September 2019.  The 2019 data is archived in the name of the previous PI – McGee.

J. T. Sullivan (GSFC), L. Twigg (SSAI), and G. Sumnicht (SSAI) — The Aerosol and Temperature Lidar (AT Lidar) has been rebuilt, and now includes water vapor to ~15 km, temperature in the troposphere using rotational Raman backscatter, stratospheric temperature up to ~80 km, and aerosol parameters using elastic and Raman backscatter up to ~35 km. As a mobile intercomparator, it has participated in intercomparisons at Mauna Loa from November 2012–August 2013, January 2014 & 2015 and November 2015. Data up to 2015 is archived in the name of the previous PI – McGee.
