Abstract : The 2-year lidar water vapor database (November 2013 - October 2015) of the Maïdo Observatory (Reunion Island / 21°S,55.5°E) is now calibrated. The performance of the lidar to provide accurate vertical structures are shown to be good. The ability of measuring quantities of a few ppmv in the lower stratosphere is demonstrated up to 22 km (based on Cryogenic Frostpoint Hygrometer sondes/lidar profiles comparisons) for an integration time period of 48 hours and a vertical resolution of 1.3 km.
