CEDAR: Observational Studies of Tidal Perturbations in Mesopause Region Winds and Temperatures

这一博士后奖项将(1)开发钠风/温度激光雷达的白天测量能力，(2)改进后的钠风/温度激光雷达与UAO MF雷达同时运行，全年至少每月四个24小时时段，以及(3)分析和解释收集的数据，以研究动力学，特别是伊利诺伊州厄巴纳上空中层顶区域涉及的潮汐效应。PI的所有观测数据都将放入雪松数据库。

This postdoctoral award will (1) develop daytime measurement capabilities for the sodium wind/temperature lidar, (2) operate the improved sodium wind/temperature lidar simultaneously with UAO MF radar for a minimum of four 24-hour periods per month throughout the year, and (3) analyze and interpret the data collected to study dynamics, in particular, tides effects involved in the mesopause region above Urbana, Illinois. All the PI's observations will be placed in the CEDAR database.
