The Airborne Raman Ozone, Temperature, and Aerosol Lidar (AROTAL) is an airborne lidar system operated by Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC). It detects lidar backscatter to provide vertical profiles of ozone, temperature, and aerosols. It operates across four transmitted wavelengths: 308, 355, 532, and 1064 nm. It also collects Raman scattering at 332 nm and 387 nm. AROTAL has a horizontal resolution of about 4 to 7 km and a vertical resolution of 0.5 to 1.5 km.
