Description

In July 2017 and March 2018, the mobile NDACC reference lidar from NASA GSFC took part in an intercomparison campaign for stratospheric ozone and temperature profiles at the Observatoire Haute Provence in Southern France. Here we report on the initial comparison of 1.) ozone profiles from the NASA lidar, the stratospheric ozone lidar at Haute Provence, ECC sondes, the tropospheric ozone lidar and ozone profiles from the MLS and SABER satellite instruments 2.) temperature profiles from the NASA lidar, the stratospheric ozone lidar at Haute Provence, the stratospheric/mesospheric temperature lidar at Haute Provence, ECC sondes, Nimes Radiosondes and NCEP operational analyses, and temperature profiles from the MLS and SABER satellite instruments. In most cases, profiles from all sources agree within their respective uncertainties.
