Study Scope

Keywords:

Earth and Environmental Sciences, Physics, sodium, lidar, hydroxyl, airglow, mesopause, mesosphere, ALOMAR

Abstract:

The data consist of 42 nightly mean temperature profiles and the corresponding standard error. Several additional variables contain supplementary information, such as the beam number (either 0 or 1) in use and the azimuth and zenith angle this beam pointed to. Date and time are stored as Julian date. All data are stored in a NetCDF4 file.

Kind of Data:

Nightly mean temperature profiles recorded by sodium resonance fluorescence lidar at the ALOMAR observatory.
