Error analysis of DIAL measurements of ozone by a Shuttle excimer lidarAttention is given to an error analysis of DIAL measurements of stratospheric ozone from the Space Shuttle. It is shown that a transmitter system consisting of a KrF excimer laser pumping gas cells of H2 or D2 producing output wavelengths in the near UV is useful for the measurement of ozone in a 15-50-km altitude range. It is noted that for increased levels of stratospheric aerosols experienced after violent volcanic eruptions, the relative uncertainties of ozone densities will be large in the region below about 24 km.
