The OHP Temperature and Ozone Intercomparison Campaign (OTOIC) took place at the Observatoire de Haute Provence, France, from 1–18 July 1997. The NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) mobile lidar system was deployed at the Observatoire de Haute Provence (OHP) during a blind intercomparison as a part of the continuous validation process within the Network for the Detection of Stratospheric Change. The GSFC measurements were compared to two lidars permanently deployed at OHP and operated by the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), one measuring ozone and the other measuring temperature.
