Density and temperature profiles obtained by lidar between 35 and 70 km
TL;DR: In this paper, a lidar system based at the Haute-Provence Observatory (44°N, 6°E) has been used to obtain night-time density and temperature profiles in the altitude range 35-70 km.

Polarization properties of lidar backscattering from clouds.
S. R. Pal,A. I. Carswell +1 more
TL;DR: A wide variation in polarization properties is observed in different cloud types, and the results indicate that polarization signatures could be useful for cloud characterization and classification.

High-Spectral-Resolution Lidar with Iodine-Vapor Filters: Measurement of Atmospheric-State and Aerosol Profiles
TL;DR: This is a scalable system for high spatial resolution of vertical temperature profiles in the troposphere and lower stratosphere, even in the presence of aerosols.

Climatology and trends of mesospheric (58–90 km) temperatures based upon 1982–1986 SME Limb scattering profiles
R. Todd Clancy,David W. Rusch +1 more
TL;DR: The analysis of this extensive data set provides a global definition of mesospheric-lower thermospheric temperature trends over the 1982-1986 period as discussed by the authors, which suggest a pattern of 1-2 K/year decreases in temperatures at 80-90 km altitudes accompanied by 0.5-1.5 K/ year increases at 65-80km altitudes.

Temperature climatology of the middle atmosphere from long‐term lidar measurements at middle and low latitudes
Thierry Leblanc,I. Stuart McDermid,Philippe Keckhut,Alain Hauchecorne,Ciao Y. She,David A. Krueger +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used long-term measurements from several lidar instruments (Rayleigh and sodium) located at 44.0°N, 40.6°N and 34.4°N to develop a new climatology of the middle atmosphere temperature.

Thermally driven diurnal tide in the atmosphere
TL;DR: The theory for the diurnal tide in the atmosphere is reviewed and the appropriate Hough Functions (including those with negative equivalent depths) are described in this article, where the main thermal drives for the durnal tide are described and the theory is then used to compute the atmosphere's response to the thermal drives.

Photochemistry of ozone in a moist atmosphere
TL;DR: In this article, a detailed investigation has been made into the photochemistry of ozone in an atmosphere containing hydrogen, and it is shown that for such an atmosphere a satisfactory ozone profile can be obtained, unlike the situation now existing for an oxygen only atmosphere.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stratospheric aerosol studies
TL;DR: The stratospheric aerosol layer previously identified by balloon measurements has been studied extensively by means of recovered rod impactor samples obtained during aircraft flights at the 20-km level from 63°S to 72°N during March-November 1960 as mentioned in this paper.

Atmospheric Sodium measured by a Tuned Laser Radar
TL;DR: In this article, the authors report preliminary measurements at night by a new optical radar for the distribution and abundance of atomic sodium atoms in the atmosphere at a height of about 90 km.
