Airborne coherent Doppler wind lidar measurements, acquired during the Gravity Wave Life-
Cycle (GW-LCYCLE) I field campaign performed from 2 to 14 December 2013 in Kiruna …

In preparation of the satellite mission Aeolus carried out by the European Space Agency,
airborne wind lidar observations have been performed in the frame of the North Atlantic …

We report on the first observation of persistent inertia gravity wave signatures in the
horizontal wind and temperature by Doppler Rayleigh lidar in the middle atmosphere. The …

The Aeolus satellite mission of the European Space Agency (ESA) has brought the first wind
LiDAR to space to satisfy the long-existing need for global wind profile observations. Until …

Although the links between stratospheric dynamics, climate and weather have been
demonstrated, direct observations of stratospheric winds are lacking, in particular at altitudes …

An advanced hodograph-based analysis technique to derive gravity-wave (GW) parameters
from observations of temperature and winds is developed and presented as a step-by-step …

Wind profile information throughout the entire upper stratosphere and lower mesosphere
(USLM) is important for the understanding of atmospheric dynamics but became available …

This paper describes the technical specifications of the extensions made to the middle
atmospheric lidar facility at the Leibniz Institute of Atmospheric Physics in Kühlungsborn …

We present an extensive data set of simultaneous temperature and wind measurements in
the Arctic middle atmosphere. It consists of more than 300 h of Doppler Rayleigh lidar …

The middle atmosphere (from about 10–110 km altitude) is a highly variable environment at
seasonal and sub-seasonal timescales. This variability influences the general atmospheric …
