A ground-based differential absorption lidar system has been implemented to make long-term, precise measurements of stratospheric ozone concentration profiles from ~20 to 50 km altitude. This lidar is located at an elevation of 2300 m in the San Gabriel Mountains, Southern California, and has been in operation since Jan.1988. A high power (100-W) excimer laser system and a 90-cm diam telescope are used to achieve the desired performance levels. This paper describes the implementation of the system and its operation including the procedures for data analysis. Examples of ozone profiles measured, and intercomparisons with measurements made by other instruments, are presented which show that the lidar, in its present configuration, is capable of producing high quality ozone measurements from 20 km up to at least 45 km.
已实施了一个地基差分吸收激光雷达系统，用于对平流层中约20至50千米高度的臭氧浓度剖面进行长期、精确测量。该激光雷达位于南加州圣盖博山海拔2300米处，自1988年1月起投入运行。使用了一个高功率（100瓦）的准分子激光系统和一个直径90厘米的望远镜来达到所需的性能水平。本文描述了该系统的实施及其运行情况，包括数据分析程序。给出了测量的臭氧剖面示例，以及与其他仪器测量结果的比对，结果表明，以其目前的配置，该激光雷达能够在20千米至至少45千米的高度范围内进行高质量的臭氧测量。
