As part of the Network for Detection of Stratospheric Change (NDSC) three lidars are currently operated by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL).
Using more than 800 profiles obtained by the DIAL-ozone lidar of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) at the Mauna Loa Observatory (MLO), Hawaii, a wide range of temporal variability of stratospheric ozone is investigated.
A wide rage of temporal variability in stratospheric ozone profiles is investigated using more than 10 years of DIAL-ozone lidar measurements at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), Table Mountain Facility (TMF), California.

A radar initiated interlock system which protects overflying aircraft from the laser radiation from the remote sensing systems located at Table Mountain Facility of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory is described in detail.
Altitude profiles of backscater ratio of the stratospheric background aerosol layer at altitudes between 15 and 25 km and high-altitude cirrus clouds at altitudes below 13 km are analyzed and discussed. Cirrus clouds were present on 16 of the 26 campaign nights.

The tidal signature in the middle atmospheric thermal structure (15-95 km) at Mauna Loa, Hawaii, (19.5is investigated using more than 145 hours of nighttime lidar measurements obtained during October 3-16, 1996 and October 2-11, 1997.
Long term measurements from several lidar instruments, located at 44.0 degree N, 40.6 degree N, 34.4 degree N, and 19.5 degree N, were used to develop a new climatology of the middle atmosphere temperature.
Results from new observations of mesospheric temperature inversion layers using long-term lidar measurements at mid- and low-latitudes are presented.
Temperature measurements in the middle atmosphere using Rayleigh lidars have been performed for several decades now.
First results of an intercomparison measurement campaign between three aerosol lidar instruments and in-situ backscatter sondes performed at Table Mountain Facility (34.4 degree N, 117.7 degree E, 2280 m asl) in February-March 1997 are presented.
The middle atmosphere (20 to 90 km altitude) has received increasing interest from the scientific community during the last decades, especially since such problems as polar ozone depletion and climatic change have become so important.
This paper describes a seasonal climatology of the middle atmosphere temperature derived from lidar measurements obtained at several mid- and low-latitude locations.
