Abstract

We present the simultaneous and common-volume Na and Fe Doppler lidar measurements of wind and temperature in the mesosphere and lower thermosphere (MLT) at Table Mountain, north of Boulder. This is the first ever measurements of the MLT region with two resonance Doppler lidars simultaneously, providing a unique opportunity to evaluate the two state-of-the-art Doppler lidar technologies. Such observations will also enable the sophisticated studies of two different meteoric metal species (Na and Fe) and how they respond to various physical and chemical processes.
