The Ozone Lidar Experiment (OLEX) is an airborne lidar system operated by the German Aerospace Center (DLR). It measures atmospheric backscatter at four wavelengths (308, 355, 532, and 1064 nm) to provide profiles of ozone and aerosols. It views from zenith and has a measurement range from 2 km above the flight altitude up to around 30 km. It operates at a repetition rate of 10 Hz, with a horizontal resolution of 20 m and a vertical resolution of 15 m at a typical aircraft speed of 200 meters per second. OLEX is designed to operate on the DLR Falcon research aircraft.
