Abstract

The paper considers the equipment and methodology for remote determination of the vertical distribution of atmospheric temperature up to altitudes of 90 km. The technique is based on the lidar measurements of the vertical profile of the molecular density of the atmosphere using the Rayleigh scattering effect. The results obtained on the modernized Rayleigh scattering channel of the lidar based on the main mirror of the Siberian lidar station with a diameter of 2.2 m are demonstrated. The atmospheric temperature profile obtained from the lidar data is compared with the temperature profile of a satellite radiometer in the altitude range of 40-90 km.
