Wind and temperature measurements by Doppler lidar in the Arctic middle atmosphere Hildebrand, Jens , 1983- Text theses Text Hochschulschrift 2014 2014 eng electronic resourceremoteComputermedienOnline-Ressourcetext/htmlapplication/pdfOnline-Ressource Ill., graph. Darst. The lidar technique allows wind and temperature measurements in the whole middle atmosphere with high vertical and temporal resolution. The wind retrieval relies on measuring the tiny Doppler shift of light that is backscattered by moving air particles. This thesis introduces in detail the wind retrieval method and its validation, and presents wind results from the winter seasons of the years 2009 to 2012 at an Arctic site. Winds and temperatures reveal large variability, from year to year and within single months. On short time scales winds and temperatures are disturbed by gravity waves. von Jens Hildebrand Rostock, Univ., Diss., 2014 551.525094844 551.515094844 550 ZQ 3760 UT 5250 38.81 http://rosdok.uni-rostock.de/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:de:gbv:28-diss2014-0179-5 http://rosdok.uni-rostock.de/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:de:gbv:28-diss2014-0179-5&pdf http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:28-diss2014-0179-5 Wind and temperature measurements by Doppler lidar in the Arctic middle atmosphere--(DE-627)799247146 urn:nbn:de:gbv:28-diss2014-0179-5 oclc: 935767360 ppn: (DE-627)806813539
