Scientific paper

A large lidar system was developed at the Anhui Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics. It is composed of a high power frequency doubled Nd:YAG laser (120 mJ at 532 nm, 1 mrad), a 651 mm diameter receiving telescope, and a 64 channel photon counter. The lidar observations are controlled by an IBM PC/AT computer. One of the projects is to use the lidar system to make regular observations of stratospheric aerosols. Profiles of scattering ratio have been obtained since November 1989. Meanwhile, an Xe-Cl laser (308 nm wavelength) was assembled to allow the lidar to make measurements of vertical ozone distributions.
