LMOL
Langley Mobile Ozone Lidar

The Langley Mobile Ozone Lidar (LMOL) is an active remote sensor that utilizes a laser to measure atmospheric ozone and aerosols. LMOL is housed in a trailer so that it is easily transferred to different locations. The laser has a 287 nm and a 292 nm wavelength for ozone retrievals and a 527 nm wavelength for other aerosol retrievals. In addition, it has a 70 ns pulse width and a 7.5 m range resolution. LMOL is part of the Tropospheric Ozone Lidar Network (TOLNet), which is operated by NASA.
