Journal ArticleDOI
Absorption and emission line shapes in the O(2) atmospheric bands: Theoretical model and limb viewing simulations.
TL;DR: A multiple scattering radiative transfer model has been developed to carry out a line by line calculation of the absorption and emission limb measurements that will be made by the High Resolution Doppler Imager to be flown on the Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optimization of a triple etalon interferometer.
TL;DR: The techniques used to determine the gap thicknesses and reflectivities of the three etalons of the HRDI instrument are presented and the spacings are found to be 1.000, 0.186, and 0.025 cm.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The TIMED Doppler Interferometer (TIDI) performs the measurement of upper atmospheric winds on the Thermosphere Ionosphere Mesosphere Energetics and Dynamics (TIMED) satellite.
Journal ArticleDOI
Two-channel direct-detection Doppler lidar employing a charge-coupled device as a detector.
TL;DR: A direct-detection Doppler lidar system is demonstrated that uses a CCD as a detector for the first time to the authors' knowledge and has the capability to measure winds from aerosol and molecular backscatter simultaneously in two separate channels by directing the light reflected from one channel into the other.
Journal ArticleDOI
Validation of wind profiles measured with incoherent Doppler lidar.
TL;DR: The comparisons show an ~2-m/s rms error between the two systems, and a sensitivity study is shown to illustrate the sensitivity of the lidar wind measurements to various system parameters.
