Validation of Ozone and Temperature Measurements at the Mauna Loa Observatory

Between November, 2012 and November, 2015, two lidar instruments from the Goddard Space Flight Center were deployed to the NOAA Mauna Loa Observatory, for the purpose of validation of two Network for the Detection of Atmospheric Composition Change lidar instruments, one operated by JPL and one operated by NOAA. The JPL instrument makes profile measurements of stratospheric ozone and temperature, and the NOAA instrument retrieves profiles of temperature and aerosols. This paper will present the results of coincident measurements of stratospheric ozone and temperature from these instruments. This work is part of the NDACC ongoing validation protocol.
