A ground-based, high power differential absorption lidar (DIAL) 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 January 1988. Evaluation of the results obtained from this system has been provided through an inter-comparison campaign, carried out during October/November 1988, and through long term comparison with SAGE II satellite measurements. This paper describes the implementation of the system and its operation, including the procedures for data analysis. Examples of ozone profiles measured and inter-comparisons with measurements made by other instruments are presented which show that the lidar is capable of producing high quality ozone measurements up to at least 45-km altitude.
已实施了一个地基高功率差分吸收激光雷达（DIAL）系统，用于对平流层中20至50公里高度范围内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。通过1988年10月/11月开展的一次比对活动以及与SAGE II卫星测量结果的长期对比，对该系统获得的结果进行了评估。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，结果表明该激光雷达能够在至少45公里高度范围内进行高质量的臭氧测量。
