We describe improvements to two lidar systems for measurements of ozone and aerosols in the troposphere and lower stratosphere. These changes are primarily related to the receiver optical sub-systems and the principal topics presented are the telescopes, the ozone DIAL receiver, and the aerosol lidar receiver. The data acquisition systems were also replaced. The goals of these modifications were to increase the spatial and temporal resolution of the lidars, to extend the altitude range covered, and to improve the quality of the raw data.
