Abstract

The lidar complex of a small station of high-altitude atmospheric sounding of V.E. Zuev Institute of Atmospheric Optics SB RAS is described. The lidar is based on a Newton telescope with a 1-m mirror and is designed to monitor the vertical stratification of aerosol and the distribution of air temperature and density in the middle atmosphere. As an illustration of the lidar operation and demonstration of its capabilities, profiles of the vertical distribution of aerosol, temperature, and density in the altitude range 10-70 km are presented.
