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 intercomparisons at OHP for July–August 1992 and for June–July 1997. Teh 1992 and 1997 data is archived in the name of the previous PI – McGee.
