Four middle and upper atmosphere lidar groups collaborate to unify the scientific and technological applications of resonant lidar systems now at the University of Illinois, the Alomar Observatory in Norway, and at Colorado State University. The consortium structure coordinates simultaneous performance of the lidar systems and the sharing of existing data, coordinates data taking strategic planning within the upper atmospheric lidar community, facilitates more rapid dissemination of technical lidar advances, and coordinates education, training, and outreach activities. The consortium establishes a Technology Center that focuses on unified establishment of robust and stable lidar operation, the exploration of advanced laser and optical technologies, and the expedition of technology transfer within traditionally isolated and competing lidar groups. The initial goal of the consortium is to make regular nighttime and daytime measurements of temperatures and winds in the upper mesosphere and lower thermosphere commonplace and consistent at the three primary lidar sites.

四个中高层大气激光雷达小组合作统一共振激光雷达系统的科学和技术应用，现在在伊利诺伊大学，挪威的阿洛马尔天文台和科罗拉多州立大学。联盟结构协调激光雷达系统的同步性能和现有数据的共享，协调高层大气激光雷达社区内的数据战略规划，促进激光雷达技术进步的更快传播，并协调教育、培训和外展活动。该联盟建立了一个技术中心，专注于统一建立强大和稳定的激光雷达操作，探索先进的激光和光学技术，以及在传统上孤立和竞争的激光雷达小组中进行技术转移的探索。该联盟的最初目标是使三个主要激光雷达站点在夜间和白天对上层中间层和下层热层的温度和风进行常规和一致的测量。
