In the framework of the international project named SAVER.Net (South American Environmental Risk Network), between Argentina, Chile and Japan the CEILAP?s Lidar Division has conducted on October 2014 an intensive observation campaign called OZITOS+ (OZone profIle aT Río GallegOS +) focusing in ozone and temperature distribution along stratosphere. It has been integrated by balloon sonde, DIAL (Differential Absorption Lidar) and Radiometric instrumentation.The DIAL instrument is part of Network Data for Atmospheric Composition Change (NDACC) network and the usual protocols of quality assurance imposed for the network involve regular validation/intercomparison experiments were the products measured with the lidar are compared with ozone and temperature profiles obtained with independent techniques, usually with higher or same resolution as lidar. The experiment are made collocated spatial and temporally. For that reason the Chilean team joined to Japanese and Argentine team at Río Gallegos to develop the experiment. In this work preliminary data of the campaign are presented focusing in the dynamic process related with the temperature during the OZITOS+ campaign. Correlation with satellite instrumentation as COSMIC, MLS and SABER with Lidar and ballon sonde are done. The results suggest an influence of the polar vortex over the air mass monitored during the campaign.
