Journal ArticleDOI
Lidar observations of neutral Fe layers and fast gravity waves in the thermosphere (110–155 km) at McMurdo (77.8°S, 166.7°E), Antarctica
TL;DR: In this paper, the first lidar observations of neutral Fe layers with gravity wave signatures in the thermosphere from 110-155 km at McMurdo, Antarctica in May 2011 were reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inertia‐gravity waves in Antarctica: A case study using simultaneous lidar and radar measurements at McMurdo/Scott Base (77.8°S, 166.7°E)
TL;DR: In this paper, the first coincident observation of inertia-gravity waves (IGWs) by lidar and radar in the Antarctic mesopause region is presented, which is also known as the first known observation of two simultaneous IGWs at the same location An Fe Boltzmann lidar at Arrival Heights (778°S, 1667°E) provides highresolution temperature data, and a co-located MF radar provides wind data.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lidar observations of persistent gravity waves with periods of 3–10 h in the Antarctic middle and upper atmosphere at McMurdo (77.83°S, 166.67°E)
Cao Chen,Cao Chen,Xinzhao Chu,Xinzhao Chu,Jian Zhao,Jian Zhao,Brendan R. Roberts,Brendan R. Roberts,Zhibin Yu,Zhibin Yu,Weichun Fong,Weichun Fong,Xian Lu,J. A. Smith,J. A. Smith +14 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors characterize 3-10-h gravity wave with 3-5-10h periods and vertical wavelengths of 20-30 km with an Fe Boltzmann lidar at McMurdo, Antarctica.
Journal ArticleDOI
Possible relations between meteors, enhanced electron density layers, and sporadic sodium layers
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the possible relations between incoming meteors, sporadic E (Es) layers, and sporadic (or sudden) sodium atom layers (SSLs) using the data from the FORMOSAT-3/COSMIC constellation, a meteor radar (Wuhan, 31°N, 114°E), and a sodium fluorescent lidar (Hefei, 31.8°E, 117.3°E).
Journal ArticleDOI
Lidar observations of stratospheric gravity waves from 2011 to 2015 at McMurdo (77.84°S, 166.69°E), Antarctica: 1. Vertical wavelengths, periods, and frequency and vertical wave number spectra

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used an Fe Boltzmann lidar to characterize the vertical wavelengths, periods, vertical phase speeds, frequency spectra, and vertical wave number spectra of stratospheric gravity waves from 30 to 50 km altitude.
