The purpose of the work is to study the influence of temperature correction on ozone vertical distribution (OVD) in the upper troposphere&ndash, stratosphere in the altitude range~(5&ndash, 45) km, using differential absorption lidar (DIAL), operating at the sensing wavelengths 299/341 nm and 308/353 nm. We analyze the results of lidar measurements, obtained using meteorological data from MLS/Aura and IASI/MetOp satellites and temperature model, at the wavelengths of 299/341 nm and 308/353 nm in 2018 at Siberian Lidar Station (SLS) of Institute of Atmospheric Optics, Siberian Branch, Russian Academy of Sciences. To estimate how the temperature correction of absorption cross-sections influences the OVD retrieval from lidar measurements, we calculated the deviations of the difference between two profiles, retrieved using satellite- and model-based temperatures. Two temperature seasons were singled out to analyze how real temperature influences the retrieved OVD profiles. In the stratosphere, when satellite-derived temperature and model are used for retrieval, the deviations may reach absolute values of ozone concentration in the range from &minus, 0.97 &times, 1012 molecules &times, cm&ndash, 3 at 19.7 km to 1.05 &times, 3 at 25.3 km during winter&ndash, spring season, and from &minus, 0.17 &times, 3 at height of 17.4 km to 0.27 &times, 3 at 40 km in summer&ndash, fall period. In the troposphere, when satellite-derived temperature is used in the retrieval, the deviations may reach absolute values of ozone concentration in the range from &minus, 1.95 &times, 3 at 18.6 km to 1.23 &times, 3 at 18.2 km during winter&ndash, 0.15 &times, 3 at height of 11.4 km to 0.3 &times, 3 at 8 km during summer&ndash, fall season.

The purpose of this work is to measure the ozone vertical distribution (OVD) in the upper troposphere&ndash, stratosphere by differential absorption lidar (DIAL) at 299/341 nm and 308/353 nm and to compare and analyze the results against satellite data. А lidar complex for measuring the OVD in the altitude range &asymp, (5&ndash, 45) km has been created. Here we analyze the results of ozone lidar measurements at wavelengths of 299/341 nm and 308/353 nm in 2018 at Siberian Lidar Station (SLS) and compare them with satellite (MLS/Aura and IASI/MetOp) measurements of OVD. The retrieved lidar OVD profiles in the upper troposphere&ndash, stratosphere in comparison with MLS/Aura and IASI/MetOp profiles, as well as the stitched OVD profile in comparison with the mid-latitude Krueger model, confirm the prospects of using the pairs of ozone sounding wavelengths 299/341 and 308/353 nm.
