Lidar systems measuring ozone concentration and aerosol profiles in the lower troposphere can make significant contributions to the understanding of chemical and transport processes for regional air quality assessment and control. The Environmental Technology Laboratory of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has developed a compact, efficient, transportable lower troposphere ozone lidar, which is capable of continuously measuring ozone concentration profiles from near the surface to about 3 km with high range resolution, and aerosol backscatter profiles from near the surface to about 10 km. The ozone lidar was deployed in two field experiments in California in 1993. The second field experiment, discussed here, was the Free Radical Study in the Los Angeles basin during September 1993. The ETL Mobile Profiling System (MPS), co-located with the lidar during the study, continuously measured surface and profiles of meteorological parameters using remote and in-situ techniques. The meteorological information is combined with the ozone lidar measurements to provide valuable insight into the complexity of the ozone profiles.
