9402823 Wickwar This project will be a one-year collaboratory effort involving Utah State University, the University of Maryland, Clemson University, the University of Pittsburgh, and University College London to upgrade its current capability to include a state-of-the- art resonance-scatter lidar system. In addition to significantly enhancing the atmospheric science, the development of this resonance lidar will mark the transfer of a well-tested laboratory technique to study the atmosphere. After its development and initial use in Utah, the PIs will try this system, or part of it, at the Polar Cap Observatory. At this high-latitude location, the observations could be very useful for examining the winds and temperatures inside and outside the polar vortex as well as the occurrence of ice clouds to determine temperature conditions at time of formation. ***

9402823 Wickwar 该项目将是一个为期一年的合作项目，涉及犹他州立大学、马里兰大学、克莱姆森大学、匹兹堡大学和伦敦大学学院，以升级其当前的能力，以包括最先进的共振-散射激光雷达系统。 除了显着增强大气科学之外，这种共振激光雷达的开发还将标志着经过充分测试的实验室技术用于大气研究的转移。 在犹他州开发并初步使用后，PI 将在极地帽天文台尝试该系统或其中的一部分。 在这个高纬度地区，观测对于检查极地涡旋内外的风和温度以及冰云的出现以确定形成时的温度条件非常有用。 ***
