Earth Mesopause, Temperatures

Scientific paper

The ALOMAR Weber Na Lidar is a sodium fluorescence lidar, designed by the Colorado State University (CSU) lidar group and operated by CSU, Colorado Research Associates/NorthWest Research Associates (CoRA/NWRA) and the Norwegian Defence Research Establishment (FFI). By remote spectroscopy, this instrument is used to determine N-density profiles as well as profiles of atmospheric temperature and wind from about 80-110 km. The instrument is part of the Arctic Lidar Observatory for Middle Atmosphere Research (ALOMAR), located in northern Norway (69°N), about 150 km north of the Arctic circle. During November/December 2004 and during the ROMA rocket campaign in January/February 2005 at the Andøya Rocket Range the Na Lidar was operated on several occasions. Atmospheric wind and temperature profiles retrieved from meteorological rockets were obtained during the measurement campaign. Further, the SKiYMET meteor radar performed continuous measurements during this time, providing temperature and wind data in the mesopause region. The 90-km daily average temperature from the Meteor Radar agrees with the measurements of the Na lidar. We observed different wave structures in the polar mesopause region. We will present and discuss the results of the wintertime temperature measurements in the mesopause region obtained with the ALOMAR Weber Na Lidar.
