Comparison of rayleigh-scatter and sodium resonance lidar temperatures

Comparison of rayleigh-scatter and sodium resonance lidar temperatures

We present an unprecedented comparison of temperature measurements from the Rayleigh-scatter (RS) and sodium (Na) lidar techniques. The extension of the RS technique into the lower thermosphere that has been achieved by the group at Utah State University (USU), enables simultaneous, common-volume me...
