Fig. 3. The OEM retrieval (red curve) compared to the traditional calculation of ozone using the OHP lidar systems. The tropospheric lidar starts at 2.5 km and extends upward to 14.5 km (blue curve). The ozone profile measured by the stratospheric lidar system (black curve) overlaps with the profile retrieved from the tropospheric lidar system in the UTLS. In this region, the OEM retrievals smoothly transition from relying primarily on the tropospheric lidar measurements to the stratospheric measurements.
