Probing the atmosphere at the edge of space: Lidar capabilities for upper atmosphere remote sensing

Research output: Contribution to conferencePaperpeer-review

Abstract

Lidar capabilities for upper atmosphere remote sensing were discussed. The advances in laser technology permit probing of wind, temperature and constituent structure from the surface to the edge of space. Observations of meteor ablation trails using 3.5 m telescope at the Starfire Optical Range NM and airborne Fe lidar observations of temperatures and polar mesospheric clouds over the North and South pole were also reviewed.
