Validation of the TOLNet lidars during SCOOP (Southern California Ozone Observation Project)

Five TOLNet lidarsparticipated to a validation campaign at the JPL-Table Mountain Facility, CA in August 2016. All lidarsagreed within ±10% of each other and within ±7% of the ozonesondes. Centralized data processing was used to compare the uncertainty budgets. The results highlight the TOLNet potential to address science questions ranging from boundary layer processes to long range transport. TOLNet can now be seen as a robust network for use in field campaigns and long term monitoring.
