Intercomparison of ozone vertical profiles in the upper tropospherestratosphere measured at the Siberian lidar station in Tomsk, Russia (56.5 deg. N, 85.0 deg. E) with DIAL, MLS, and IASI

摘要

The purpose of this work is to measure by differential absorption lidar (DIAL) the ozone vertical distribution (OVD) inthe upper troposphere – stratosphere at wavelengths 299/341 and 308/353 nm and to compare the results with satellitedata. А lidar complex for measuring the OVD in the altitude range ～ (5–45) km has been created. Here we analyze theresults of ozone lidar measurements at wavelengths of 299/341 nm and 308/353 nm in March 2017 – January 2018 atSiberian Lidar Station (SLS) and compare them with satellite (AURA/MLS and IASI/MetOp) measurements of OVD.The retrieved lidar OVD profiles in the upper troposphere – stratosphere in comparison with AURA/MLS andIASI/MetOp profiles, as well as the stitched OVD profile in comparison with the mid-latitude Kruger model confirm theprospects of using the pairs of ozone sounding wavelengths 299/341 and 308/353 nm.
