Resumen:
The
determination of temperature measurements from the Rayleigh scattering is an
important remote sensing technique for obtaining stratospheric profiles. This
technique is applied to signals acquired by a Rayleigh lidar (Light Detection
and Ranging). Currently the Observatorio Atmosférico de la Patagonia Austral
(51° 55S, 69° 14W) in Río Gallegos, Argentina is part of the UVO3Patagonia
project in collaboration with the laboratory of Ozone and UV Radiation in the
city of Punta Arenas, Chile distant 200 km, for more information www.uvo3patagonia.com. In this paper we
showed the technique to measure temperature profiles in the stratosphere
between 15-60 km altitude. We compared the temperature profiles obtained of
the second ozone sounding campaign called OZITOS (OZone profile aT RíO GallegOS) carried
out in March 2011 in Río Gallegos with
the temperature profile retrieved by the Rayleigh lidar using the line of 355
nm, in the same period. The results presented in this paper are validated
through intercomparisons with measurements made by MLS instrument (Microwave
Limb Sounder) onboard the NASA AURA satellite platform and NCEP data.
