This project is a collaborative study between David Fritts at the University of Colorado and Chiao-Yao She at Colorado State University. The PIs will use the sodium lidar at Fort Collins and the Rayleigh lidar in place, as well as a resonance lidar to be developed at ALOMAR. The Fort Collins sodium lidar system currently has wind and temperature measurement capabilities with vertical and off-vertical viewing options. Since Fort Collins provides correlative data for middle atmosphere studies, efforts there will focus on dynamics studies using new and existing wind and temperature data. ALOMAR (the Arctic Lidar Observatory for Middle Atmosphere Research), a major optical and radar observatory in Norway, will provide comprehensive and nearly continuous measurements of atmospheric dynamics, structure and composition. Development of a resonance lidar capability at ALOMAR will extend continuous measurements (in altitude) of atmospheric temperature, constituents, winds and heat and momentum fluxes, permitting quantitative and correlative studies of mesospheric and lower thermospheric structure, dynamics, and variability not possible at any other site.***

这个项目是科罗拉多大学的大卫弗里茨和科罗拉多州立大学的佘乔尧的合作研究。 PI将使用柯林斯堡的钠激光雷达和瑞利激光雷达，以及ALOMAR将开发的共振激光雷达。 柯林斯堡钠激光雷达系统目前具有垂直和非垂直观测选项的风和温度测量能力。 由于柯林斯堡提供中层大气研究的相关数据，那里的工作将集中在利用新的和现有的风和温度数据进行动力学研究。 ALOMAR（北极中层大气研究激光雷达观测站）是挪威的一个主要光学和雷达观测站，将提供对大气动态、结构和组成的全面和几乎连续的测量。 ALOMAR共振激光雷达能力的发展将扩大对大气温度、成分、风、热量和动量通量的连续测量（在高度上），从而能够对中间层和低热层的结构、动力学和变化进行定量和相关研究，这在任何其他地点都是不可能的。
