  1. JPL Table Mountain Facility (TMF) 2016-2018 Station Report Thierry Leblanc California Institute of Technology, Jet Propulsion LaboratoryTable Mountain Facility, CA

  2. Instrumentation NDACC Status Dates TMF Strato. DIAL (O3, Temper, Aer) TMF Tropo. DIAL (O3) TMF Raman lidar (H2O) MLO Strato. DIAL (O3, Temper, Aer) Nominal (1 laser) Nominal Nominal Nominal 1988-present 1999-present 2005-present 1994-present Non-NDACC Status Dates PTU radiosondes Ozonesondes Frost-point sondes Surface PTU Surface ozone Nominal Rare launches No launch past 2 years Nominal Nominal 2006-present 2006-present 2007-present 2012-present 2013-present Non-NDACC, non-JPL Status Dates GPS-met total column water Nominal but data flowinterrupted due to managementchanges 2004-present NEW: Automation of the tropospheric ozone Lidar NEW: Data acquisition for the tropospheric ozone lidar NEW: Chiller system in Building 21 (ozone lidars)

  3. Personnel Current JPL Lidar Group personnel Thierry Leblanc (PI), Research Scientist Patrick Wang, Technologist Mark Brewer, Research Assistant Darryl Koon, half-time Technologist New Caltech Postdoc: Fernando Chouza Arrived August 15, 2017 Funded by TOLNet • Young and dynamic team, I love it! New: Table Mountain Facility Manager (Pam Glatfelter retired)

  4. Status of Operations TMF Instruments status (as of May 2018): - Water vapor Raman lidar: Nominal - Tropospheric ozone DIAL: Nominal higher power restored in fall 2017 - Stratospheric ozone DIAL: Runs on 1 new excimer since August 2016 (30 W) - PTU radiosonde: New MW41/RS41 fully operational Only ~10 RS92 to launch, then discontinued - Ozonesonde and FPH: Nominal, on validation basis only MLO Instrument status (as of May 2018): - New excimer installed in July 2016 - Runs on 2 excimer (1 new, 1 old), power ok (45-50 W) May 4th Breaking News for Mauna Loa: - Large earthquake caused widespread, extended power outage to MLO - Alignment hardware (GPIB) affected. Issue is being resolved

  5. Data Archiving and Funding Status Number of measurement nights in 2016/2018 (2 years): MLO Stratospheric O3 DIAL: TMF Stratospheric O3 DIAL: TMF Tropospheric O3 DIAL: TMF Water Vapor Raman: TMF PTU launches: TMF Ozonesonde launches: TMF FPH launches: 338 255 359 355 83 launches 20 0 Funding status (FY’18 and beyond): ROSES-2016 proposal (2017-2020) Second year FY’18 money coming bit-by-bit, enough to operate for about 2 months at a time NEW Data Processing (O3, T, Aer, H2O) named GLASS: Currently can process data from 12 lidars Uncertainty and Vertical Resolution compliant with NDACC-standardized definition Output format: HDF4 (NDACC/GEOMS) and HDF5

  6. New GLASS Data Processing examples Mauna LoaO3

  7. New GLASS Data Processing examples TMFO3 LauderO3

  8. New GLASS Data Processing examples EurekaO3 PayerneH2O

  9. New GLASS Data Processing examples AMOLITE, LMOL, and TROPOZ during SCOOP

  10. Publications Publications in past 24 months utilizing JPL Lidar Group data or expertise(non exhaustive list): De Mazière, et al., The NDACC, ACP., 2018Langford, et al.: Stratospheric intrusions, AE, 2018Granados-Muñoz, et al.: N.A. monsoon, ACP, 2017Huang, et al., 10-year SAO OMI Ozone Profile, AMT, 2017.Steinbrecht, W., et, al.: Ozone trends, ACP, 2017.Wang, et al., DISCOVER-AQ, AMT, 2017.Yates, et al., Tropospheric Ozone, JGR, 2017Bodeker, et al., GCOS Reference Upper Air Network (GRUAN), BAMS, 2016Granados-Munoz et al., Tropospheric ozone variability and trends, ACP, 2016Hubert et al., Ozone measurements inter-instrument drifts, AMT, 2016Leblanc et al., Standardization of vert. resol. and uncertainty, Part 1, AMT, 2016Leblanc et al., Standardization of vert. resol. and uncertainty, Part 2, AMT, 2016Leblanc et al., Standardization of vert. resol. and uncertainty, Part 3, AMT, 2016

  11. Upcoming activities Publications in preparation: - SCOOP, MORGANE, Automation A lot more data processing using GLASS: - All JPL NDACC products re-processing back to 2006, and eventually back to start! - GRUAN Lidar data processing for Payerne, Cabauw, Ny-Ålesund - NDACC Lidar data processing for Eureka, Lauder - MORGANE Campaign data processing for LIO3S, LIO3T, LI1200, STROZ - TOLNet data processing? AMOLITE? LMOL? TROPOZ? - Other lidars interested? A lot more unexpected high-priority tasks that I hadn’t even thought of… THANK YOU Questions?
