Two data streams, Fe-Boltzmann lidar temperature data and balloon sounding data are used to characterize the Antarctic atmosphere from 0 - 110 km. The research goals are to develop thermal climatology in the Antarctic during the next three years, to investigate Polar Mesospheric Cloud climatology relative to known Arctic conditions, and to investigate gravity wave behavior in the Antarctic mesosphere. Inter-comparisons of data from Rothera Antarctica (67.5o S) are compared with and integrated with other Antarctic stations and with the TIMED satellite to develop a global description of the polar mesosphere for model constraint. The lidar and balloon programs are logistically and financially supported through an international collaboration with the British Antarctic Survey.

两个数据流，铁-玻尔兹曼激光雷达温度数据和气球探测数据被用来描述0 - 110公里南极大气的特征。 研究目标是在未来三年内发展南极的热气候学，研究相对于已知北极条件的极地中间层云气候学，并研究南极中间层的重力波行为。 将南极Rothera站（南纬67.5度）的数据与其他南极站和TIMED卫星的数据进行比较和综合，以便对极地中间层进行全球描述，供模型约束使用。激光雷达和气球计划通过与英国南极调查局的国际合作获得后勤和财政支持。
