A new Na resonance fluorescence Doppler lidar, Student Atmospheric Resonance Lidar (STAR Lidar), has been deployed at the Table Mountain Lidar Observatory in Boulder (40°N) in the summer of 2010. With the implementation of the acoustic-optic modulators in this August, the two additional shifted frequencies of the output lidar pulses enable the capability of temperature and wind measurement in the mesosphere and lower thermosphere (MLT) region. Several nights of Na density and temperature observation results will be presented and discussed, as well as sporadic Na layers at high altitude. Except to serve as a powerful tool for scientific study of temperature and wind structures, the STAR Lidar is also expected to support lidar education in Boulder providing students with hands-on experience by operating the lidar system in the future.
