Lidar Observation of Mesospheric Clouds Above Beijing: A Case Study

Lidar Observation of Mesospheric Clouds Above Beijing: A Case Study

We report on the first observation of mesospheric cloud (MC) at the altitude range of 50-65 km with lidars at Yanqing (40.5°N, 116°E) and Pingquan (41°N, 118.7°E) on 30 October 2018. The MC occurred at the 51-56 km altitude range during the hours of dawn. It had an obvious double-layer structure, bu...
