title: Evaluation of the solar-blind effect in ultraviolet ozone lidar with Raman lasers.
abstract: Performances of differential absorption ozone lidars with ultraviolet Raman lasers are evaluated by a numerical simulation taking into account the solar-blind effect of stratospheric ozone for daytime observation; they are compared with observations. Calculations predict an ozone density profile up to 5 km in altitude determined during daylight using first and second Stokes lines of H(2), and up to 30 km at night using second Stokes line of CH(4) or D(2), and second and third Stokes lines of H(2) pumped by a KrF laser. A preliminary experiment of the daytime observations and a nighttime result are briefly reported.
