title: Error analysis of DIAL measurements of ozone by a Shuttle excimer lidar.
abstract: An error analysis of DIAL (differential absorption lidar) measurements of stratospheric ozone from the Space Shuttle is discussed. A transmitter system consisting of a KrF excimer laser pumping gas cells of H2 or D2 producing output wavelengths in the near UV is shown to be useful for the measurement of ozone in a 15-50-km altitude range.
