ALOHA-90

Airborne Lidar and Observations of Hawaiian Airglow FY 1990

PROJECT DATES
03/15/1990 - 04/16/1990
Project Location
Maui, Hawaii
PROJECT DESCRIPTION

During this project, an airborne Rayleigh/Na lidar, airglow imager, and airglow spectrometer were used to study stratosphere/mesosphere dynamics, polar mesospheric clouds (PMCs) and sporadic layering phenomena in the upper atmosphere. These flights were designed to study gravity waves and sporadic Na layers. Numerous ground-based instruments and UARS provided correlative data during the campaign.
