Measurement techniques and initial results of the Global Backscatter Experiment (GLOBE) performed in November 1989 and May-June 1990 to provide data on prevailing values of atmospheric backscatter cross section are presented. The upper troposphere aerosol scattering cross section was low in the Southern Hemisphere for the May-June flights and low in the Northern Hemisphere for the November flights. The initial results indicate that the instrumentation and calibration techniques applied for the near IR lidar measurements were successful.
