Abstract
The development of a differential absorption lidar (DIAL) system for long-term measurements of stratospheric ozone and for potential inclusion in the Network for the Detection of Stratospheric Change (NDSC) began at JPL in 1986, concurrent with the first workshop that considered the priorities and appropriate measurement techniques for such a network. The DIAL system at the JPL Table Mountain Facility (TMF) was developed specifically to have characteristics suitable for longterm measurements as proposed for NDSC. Regular measurements of stratospheric ozone concentration profiles commenced in February 1988 and this system has been fully described elsewhere.
