Abstract
Monitoring of the height distribution of atmospheric ozone up to 50 km is being performed with a ground-based lidar system, which has been in operation since October 1982 on the summit of Zugspitze in the German Alps. Daily and monthly averages of the ozone profile are being obtained with high precision. Furthermore, stratospheric aerosol layers, originating from the eruption of El Chichon volcano in Mexico in sping 1982 are being recorded.
