Performance Assessment of Mobile Rayleigh Doppler Lidars for Middle Atmosphere Research
نویسندگان
چکیده
Recently, two sets of mobile Rayleigh Doppler lidars were implemented in University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) for atmospheric gravity waves research. One of them works in a step stare scanning mode with azimuths corresponding to four cardinal points, while the other one consists of three fixed subassemblies: one points to the zenith and the two others are titled at 30° from the zenith with east and north pointings, respectively. They both operate at eyesafe wavelength 354.7 nm and adopt a triple Fabry-Perot interferometer (FPI) as frequency discriminator. In order to assess the performance of the Doppler lidars, comparison experiments were performed between them. Perhaps, it is the first time to make direct comparison between scanning and non-scanning Rayleigh Doppler

P2-ll Gravity Wave Activity in the Equatorial Middle Atmosphere Observed with a Rayleigh Lidar in India
The radar observations including radar Hauchercorne and Chanin showed that Rayleigh lidar observations are effective to measure the middle atmosphrer,especially at the altitude from 30km to 60km that cannot be observed by radars[Chanin and Hauchercorne, 1984]. Gravity waves in the middle atmosphere have been studied by investigating density and temperature fluctuations observed with Rayleigh Li...
متن کاملMobile Rayleigh Doppler lidar for wind and temperature measurements in the stratosphere and lower mesosphere.
A mobile Rayleigh Doppler lidar based on the molecular double-edge technique is developed for measuring wind velocity in the middle atmosphere up to 60 km. The lidar uses three lasers with a mean power of 17.5 W at 355 nm each and three 1 m diameter telescopes to receive the backscattered echo: one points to zenith for vertical wind component and temperature measurement; the two others pointing...
متن کاملA comparison of Rayleigh and sodium lidar temperature climatologies
Temperature measurements from the PCL Rayleigh lidar located near London, Canada, taken during the 11 year period from 1994 to 2004 are used to form a temperature climatology of the middle atmosphere. A unique feature of the PCL temperature climatology is that it extends from 35 to 95 km allowing comparison with other Rayleigh lidar climatologies (which typically extend up to about 85 km), as w...
متن کاملBit Error Performance for Asynchronous Ds Cdma Systems Over Multipath Rayleigh Fading Channels (RESEARCH NOTE)
In recent years, there has been considerable interest in the use of CDMA in mobile communications. Bit error rate is one of the most important parameters in the evaluation of CDMA systems. In this paper, we develop a technique to find an accurate approximation to the probability of bit error for asynchronous direct–sequence code division multiple–access (DS/CDMA) systems by modeling the multipl...
