Scientific paper

This paper reports a novel technique to observe high-frequency gravity wave activity from Na-lidar measurements. Typically, Na lidar systems are used to observe longer wave periods, atmospheric tides, and other features that have time scales on the order of hours to tens of hours. However, by applying standard signal processing techniques to the Na temperature and density measurements, waves with periods of only a few minutes have been observed. Here, we show the results of this new technique on Na lidar data collected from the Illinois Data Campaign 2007 and compare them to results achieved from correlating the phases of the OH and OI wave variations observed in coincident airglow images. The significance of the method reported in this paper is that it can be immediately applied to existing lidar data in the current studies of atmospheric gravity waves.
