The antarctic ozone LIDAR system

A new complex lidar, designed to measure tropospheric and stratospheric ozone, stratospheric aerosols and polar stratospheric clouds and tropospheric clouds has been designed by IROE-CNR and SA-CNRS and implemented at the French antarctic base of Dumont d'Urville. Here, we report a description of the system and some preliminary measurements carried out during the antarctic winter 1991.
