TIMED Doppler interferometer (TIDI) observations of migrating diurnal and semidiurnal tides
Qian Wu,Qian Wu,Timothy L. Killeen,David A. Ortland,Stanley C. Solomon,R. D. Gablehouse,Roberta M. Johnson,Wilbert R. Skinner,Rick J. Niciejewski,Steven J. Franke +9 more
TL;DR: Based on zonally averaged TIDI meridional wind data from one yaw period (March 19-May 19, 2004) near equinox, the authors examined the latitudinal and altitudinal distribution of the migrating diurnal and semidiurnal tides using least-squares fitting method to provide a global view of these tidal waves.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
High-Resolution Doppler Imager on the Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite
Wilbert R. Skinner,Paul B. Hays,Heinz J. Grassl,David A. Gell,M. D. Burrage,Alan R. Marshall,David A. Ortland +6 more
TL;DR: The high resolution Doppler imager (HRDI) on the Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite has been providing measurements of the wind field in the stratosphere, mesosphere, and lower thermosphere since November 1991.
Journal ArticleDOI
Visible wavelength Doppler lidar for measurement of wind and aerosol profiles during day and night
Kenneth W. Fischer,Vincent J. Abreu,Wilbert R. Skinner,John E. Barnes,Matthew J. McGill,Todd D. Irgang +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, an incoherent (direct detection) Doppler lidar is developed that operates in the middle of the visible spectrum and measures wind and aerosol profiles during the day and night from the planetary boundary layer to the lower stratosphere.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis techniques for the recovery of winds and backscatter coefficients from a multiple-channel incoherent Doppler lidar
TL;DR: A nonlinear least-squares inversion method is described that permits the recovery of Doppler shift and aerosol backscatter without requiring assumptions about the molecular component of the signal.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamics of the mesosphere and lower thermosphere as seen by MF radars and by the high-resolution Doppler imager/UARS
Boris Khattatov,Marvin A. Geller,V. A. Yudin,Paul B. Hays,Wilbert R. Skinner,M. D. Burrage,Steven J. Franke,D. C. Fritts,Joseph R. Isler,A. H. Manson,Chris Meek,R. McMurray,Werner Singer,Peter Hoffmann,Robert A. Vincent +14 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compare wind measurements in the mesosphere and lower thermosphere by medium-frequency (MF) radars and by the high-resolution Doppler imager onboard the UARS.
