Abstract

Abstract

Comparisons of profiles of the atmospheric density and the temperature at heights from 30-55 km measured by a Rayleigh with Na lidar and occultation technique have been made preliminarily. The lidar situated in Hochioji Tokyo （35.37°N, 139.23°E） operated routinely, and the data of occultation are available at almost the same place and at the same time （Oct.14, 1996）, which allow to do comparisons of these results obtained by different techniques. The limits of these two techniques are discussed respectively. Results illustrate a good agreement in density profiles and temperature profiles.
