Radar and lidar study of mesopause dynamics and chemistry

We propose to study mesopause dynamics and chemistry using the Arecibo ISR and resonance lidars. The scientific ob jectives include the study of : 1. ion neutral collision frequency; 2. tides and planetary waves in wind, temperature and density; 3. ion composition in sporadic layers; 4. chemistry of metal layers. We also propose to explore the development and calibration of potassium lidar wind measurement capability. We request a total of 10 days of radar time over two years. In order to maximize the scientific output, we request radar time scheduled in conjunction with World Days focusing on lower thermosphere and mesosphere.
