Gardner ATM-9403036 This project continues development and operation of several lidar systems that are being used to explore the composition and structure of the middle atmosphere and includes the analysis of data collected with these instruments during past experimental campaigns. In the ALOHA/ANLC-93 campaigns, measurements were made from the NCAR Elektra aircraft in coordination with an extensive array of ground-based instruments. Data from these campaigns will be analyzed and a workshop will be conducted to discuss the results. The project includes new campaigns using the Na Doppler/Temperature lidars at Urbana and at the Air Force Starfire Optical Range in New Mexico to test the capabilities of the 3.5 m telescope at that facility. These observations will be used to address several fundamental questions related to gravity wave generation, propagation, and dissipation in the atmosphere.

Gardner ATM-9403036 该项目继续开发和运行几个激光雷达系统，用于探索中层大气的组成和结构，并包括分析在过去的实验活动中用这些仪器收集的数据。 在ALOHA/ANLC-93活动中，测量是在NCAR Elektra飞机上与大量地面仪器协调进行的。 将对这些活动的数据进行分析，并将举办一个讲习班讨论结果。 该项目包括使用厄巴纳和新墨西哥州空军星火光学靶场的Na多普勒/温度激光雷达进行新的活动，以测试该设施3.5米望远镜的能力。 这些观测结果将用于解决与重力波在大气中的产生、传播和消散有关的几个基本问题。
