Trends and variations in global stratospheric temperatures are an integral part of the
changes occurring in the Earth's climate system. Data sets for analyzing long‐term (a …

In recent times it has become increasingly clear that releases of trace gases from human
activity have a potential for causing change in the upper atmosphere. However, our …

The book summarizes international progress over the last few decades in upper atmosphere
airglow research. Measurement methods, theoretical concepts and empirical models of a …

The Amazon region has been undergoing profound transformations since the late '70s
through forest degradation, land use changes and effects of global climate change. The …

We report on the development and current capabilities of the ALOMAR Rayleigh/Mie/Raman
lidar. This instrument is one of the core instruments of the international ALOMAR facility …

Abstract The European Space Agency's (ESA) Aeolus satellite mission is the first Doppler
wind lidar in space, operating in orbit for more than 4 years since August 2018 and providing …

We present an exact solution for the distribution P (hm, L) of the maximal height hm
(measured with respect to the average spatial height) in the steady state of a fluctuating …

Based on 417 nights of lidar observation between 1990 and 1999 at Fort Collins, CO (41° N,
105° W), we tabulate an eight‐year composite of monthly mean temperatures and Na …

It has been known for at least 30 years that vertically narrow thermal layers form within the
middle atmosphere. Two types of temperature enhancements, the low‐latitude to midlatitude …

A two‐dimensional chemical‐dynamical‐radiative model of the middle atmosphere is used
to investigate the potential changes of temperature, ozone, and other chemical constituents …
