Advanced Airborne UV DIAL System for Stratospheric and Tropospheric Ozone and Aerosol Measurements

  • Conference paper

Abstract

An advanced UV DIAL system for airborne measurements of ozone and aerosol distributions across the troposphere and lower stratosphere was developed at the NASA Langley Research Center during 1995. This paper describes the system and its improved performance including examples from the recent TOTE/VOTE field campaign.
