TROPOZ
NASA Goddard Tropospheric Ozone Lidar

The NASA Goddard Tropospheric Ozone Lidar (TROPOZ) is a mobile, ground-based lidar that is part of the Tropospheric Ozone Lidar Network (TOLNet). It uses the differential absorption lidar (DIAL) technique to measure ozone at 289 nm and 299 nm. TROPOZ has a range resolution of 15 m, a repetition rate of 50 Hz, and can generate ozone profiles from 0.35 to 16 km above ground level.
