There are currently 27 lidar instruments worldwide contributing to NDACC. Twenty-three of these instruments are located at 17 NDACC sites, the four others are mobile systems traveling from site to site for validation and inter-comparison purposes.
The NDACC lidar instruments and sites comprise the following:
Arctic sites and lidar instruments:
Eureka (Canada): stratospheric ozone, temperature, aerosols and polar stratospheric clouds (Environment Canada)
Ny-Alesund (Norway): stratospheric ozone, temperature, aerosols and polar stratospheric clouds (AWI, Germany)
Thule (Greenland): aerosols and polar stratospheric clouds (CNR, Italy)
Sondrestrom (Greenland): temperature, aerosols and polar stratospheric clouds (Univ. Colorado, USA and SRI, Canada)
Andoya (Norway): stratospheric ozone, temperature, aerosols and polar stratospheric clouds (NILU, Norway)
Northern mid-latitude sites and lidar instruments:
Hohenpeissenberg (Germany): stratospheric ozone, temperature, and aerosols (DWD, Germany)
Garmish/Zugspitze (Germany): aerosols (IMK, Germany)
Haute-Provence (France): stratospheric ozone, temperature, aerosols and tropospheric ozone (CNRS, France)
Tsukuba (Japan): stratospheric ozone (NIES, Japan)
Boulder (USA): aerosols (NOAA, USA)
Table Mountain (USA): stratospheric ozone, temperature, aerosols (NASA, USA)
