Tropospheric Ozone | LACy | Ames | Metadata Summary
x
V. Duflot (U. de la Réunion) — Tropospheric ozone DIAL system began making measurements in February 2013 in preparation for NDACC certification. Ozone profiles are routinely obtained from 6-19 km. Participated in Maido Lidar Calibration Campaigns in April 2013 and November 2013 and in the Maido Observatory Gas and Aerosols NDACC Experiment in May 2015. Instrument certified for NDACC affiliation February 2017. Measurements pause in February 2024 due to departure of PI. Replacement being sought. |

Aerosol, Ozone, Temperature, Water Vapor | GSFC, SSAI | Ames *.mgl | Metadata Summary
x
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 participated in ozone intercomparisons in May 2015. The 2015 data is archived in the name of the previous PI – McGee. |
