摘要：
Middle atmospheric temperature profiles were presented from the Nd:YAG Lidar measurements over Chung Li (25degreesN, 121degreesE), Taiwan, and Gadanki (13.5degreesN, 79.2degreesE), India. The stratopause is observed in the height range of 45-50 km with temperatures 265-280 K over Chung Li and the stratopause width is broader at Gadanki with temperatures 260-270 K. These data were compared with the coincidence UARS-HALOE profiles. The comparison shows fair agreement between the ground-based measurements and HALOE, but HALOE temperatures are colder by 2-10 K in the stratosphere with maximum difference at stratopause altitudes. The stratospheric temperatures from the nearest radiosonde data show good agreement with NCU Lidar and HALOE data. The results from these two stations were compared and discussed with results available in the literature. (C) 2002 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd.
