PRELIMINARY RESULTS FROM THE OZONE LIDAR AT THE UNIVERSITY OF L'AQUILA

We describe the ozone lidar operated at the Department of Physics of the Università dell'Aquila. Preliminary ozone profiles obtained with the DIAL (Differential Absorption Lidar) technique are also reported and a comparison is made with ECC (Electro Chemical Cell) sonde data obtained at the FISBAT, CNR in Bologna. Although this comparison is of limited value the two set of data show a good agreement. The influence on these measurements of the recent detected volcanic aerosols from the eruption of Pinatubo are also discussed
