J. T. Sullivan (GSFC), G. Sumnicht (SSAI), and L. Twigg (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. When not participating in campaigns, the instrument conducts measurements at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, MD. The AT lidar participated in the WAVES 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009 campaigns conducted in Beltsville, MD. Data through 2009 is archived in the name of the previous PI – McGee.

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.
