Sodium Lidar at Colorado State University Faculty: Joe She and David Krueger, Physics Steve Reising, Computer and Electrical Engr. Post Doc: Tao Yuan Graduate Students: Phil Acott, Sean Harrell, Jia Yue, Shannon Woods Funding: NSF and NASA Measure temperatures and horizontal wind velocities in the mesopause region (80 – 105 km) of the earth’s atmosphere (with CSU innovations) Measure: night and day, Time scales of 10’s of minutes (gravity waves), 10’s of hours (tides), 10’s of weeks (seasonal variations), 10’s of years (solar cycle effects) Vertical wavelengths (10’s of km) 50 Miles Observatories: a. CSU foothills campus b. ALOMAR in Norway [now being run by Colorado Research Associates, NSF CRRL Science studies: Climate change with 17 years data Climatology of mean states and tides Concurrent imager and lidar studies
