TL;DR: The DEEPWAVE (deep-propagating wave experiment) campaign was designed for an airborne and ground-based exploration of gravity waves from their tropospheric sources up to their dissipation at high altitudes as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: The North Atlantic Waveguide and Downstream Impact Experiment (NAWDEX) explored the impact of diabatic processes on disturbances of the jet stream and their influence on downstream high-impact weather through the deployment of four research aircraft, each with a sophisticated set of remote-sensing and in situ instruments, and coordinated with a suite of ground-based measurements as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this paper, Rayleigh-brillouin scattering in gases of N{sub 2, O {sub 2}, and SF{sub 6} molecules, Kr atoms, and He-Xe and He CO{sub2} mixtures at pressures ranging from 1 to 3 bar and using two different experimental setups.

TL;DR: In this article, the first ever wind lidar in space developed by the European Space Agency (ESA) has been providing profiles of the component of the wind vector along the instrument's line of sight (LOS) on a global scale.

TL;DR: A novel method for measuring atmospheric temperature profiles by lidar during daytime for heights of 2-15.3 km, with a vertical resolution of 0.3-2.2 km, using Rayleigh-Brillouin scattering, assuming standard atmospheric pressure conditions.
