The design, construction, and operation of a stratospheric Rayleigh lidar system is outlined. The lidar system was designed to operate as a Doppler lidar; however, for the first stage of the project it was set up to operate in a manner similar to a more conventional stratospheric Rayleigh lidar. This system includes a number of unique design features, including a high-pulse-repetition-frequency laser and the use of a single 1-m-diameter telescope for transmission of the laser pulse and reception of the backscattered light. An associated high-speed rotating shutter system switches the optical system from the transmission to the reception mode. The system was operated at Adelaide, Australia (35° S, 138° E). Scattering ratio and temperature profiles are calculated for data collected during the period from 10 March 1992 to 11 May 1993. The scattering ratio profiles clearly show the reduction in the scattering from the stratospheric aerosol layer. This is due to the removal of the aerosol injected by the eruption of Mt. Pinatubo. The measured relative density profiles show very good agreement with the Cospar international reference atmosphere model densities, as do the temperature profiles calculated from these.
概述了平流层瑞利激光雷达系统的设计、构建和运行情况。该激光雷达系统设计为作为多普勒激光雷达运行；然而，在项目的第一阶段，它被设置为以类似于更传统的平流层瑞利激光雷达的方式运行。该系统包括许多独特的设计特点，包括高脉冲重复频率激光器以及使用单个直径1米的望远镜来发射激光脉冲和接收后向散射光。一个相关的高速旋转快门系统将光学系统从发射模式切换到接收模式。该系统在澳大利亚阿德莱德（南纬35°，东经138°）运行。针对1992年3月10日至1993年5月11日期间收集的数据计算了散射比和温度剖面。散射比剖面清楚地显示了平流层气溶胶层散射的减少。这是由于皮纳图博火山喷发注入的气溶胶被清除。测量的相对密度剖面与国际宇宙航行科学院（Cospar）国际参考大气模型密度非常吻合，从这些密度计算出的温度剖面也是如此。
