STROZ-LITE
Stratospheric Ozone Lidar Trailer Experiment

The Stratospheric Ozone Lidar Trailer Experiment (STROZ-LITE) is a mobile lidar system operated by Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), housed in a 45-foot trailer. It uses the differential absorption lidar (DIAL) technique to detect ozone at wavelengths of 308 and 351 nm. Temperature profiles can also be determined using lidar backscatter measurements at 351 nm. The system has been modified to include Raman lidar channels at 332 and 382 nm wavelengths for more precise ozone measurements and aerosol backscatter detection. Depending on altitude, STROZ-LITE has a range resolution ranging from 1.2 to 6.75 km.
