The employed technique of temperature sensing based on the Rayleigh and Raman light scattering is briefly
described. The special features of the modernized lidar complex intended for temperature sensing are discussed.
Results of stratospheric temperature sensing in 2008-2010 are presented. Results of observations of stratospheric
warming in winter months are given.
