Abstract:

We consider a technique of reconstructing the ozone profiles from lidar data that allows for aerosol and temperature stratifications in the stratosphere. The technique is incorporated into a new version of the SOUND software package. The modeling results presented clearly show the necessity of taking into account the aerosol and temperature stratifications. We also present here some results of the package application to reconstructing real ozone profiles. It is shown that the application of the developed technique makes it possible to reduce the errors in reconstructing the ozone profile to 20–30% owing to the use of the data on the aerosol and temperature stratifications.
