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.

加德纳ATM-9403036这个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使用这些仪器收集的数据。在ALOHA/ANLC-93战役中，在NCAR Elektra飞机上配合广泛的地面仪器进行了测量。将对这些运动的数据进行分析，并将举办一次研讨会，讨论结果。该项目包括在Urbana和新墨西哥州空军Starfire光学靶场使用Na多普勒/温度激光雷达的新活动，以测试该设施的3.5米望远镜的能力。这些观测将被用来解决与大气中重力波的产生、传播和消散有关的几个基本问题。
