Abstract
A technique based on conservative properties of certain
meteorological fields is used to compare ozone measurements
from the Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS) on the Upper Atmosphere
Research Satellite (UARS) with soundings from a lidar system
operated at midlatitudes by the University of
L'Aquila, Italy. A few typical cases are analyzed in connection
with the position of the vortex relative to the observing station,
and it is shown that in general lidar observations taken within
the vortex compare well with the UARS data,regardless of whether
they are coincident with a satellite overpass.It is shown that such
analysis may be useful for comparing measurements of the same quantity
taken at different sites using different measurement techniques.
