A review of laser radar measurements of atmospheric properties
G. S. Kent,R. W. H. Wright +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the results of laser-radar measurements made on the atmosphere at altitudes between 10 and 100 km is presented and the theory of the method is discussed in relation to the scattering properties of the atmosphere.

Movements of ionospheric irregularities and atmospheric winds
G. S. Kent,R. W. H. Wright +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the sources of movements in the ionosphere and their origin, and various methods for measuring movements or apparent movements in ionosphere are summarized, with emphasis placed upon establishing what reliable evidence there is for real mass movement of both plasma and neutral atmosphere throughout the ionosphere.

A Laser Radar for Atmospheric Studies
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe equipment designed to observe variations in atmospheric density at heights up to 65 km by measuring the intensity of light backscattered from a laser beam, with a view to obtaining measurements at the greatest possible height.

Investigation of the stratospheric aerosol by infrared and lidar techniques
TL;DR: In this paper, the Mie theory is applied to model aerosol size distributions; the results of such analysis are compared with data obtained at λ = 0.694 μ and 3 μ ≲ λ ≲ � 100 μ to provide estimates of the size distributions and mass density of the stratospheric aerosol at altitudes of ≃ 18 km.

Laser radar observations of atmospheric tides in the 70–100 km height region
TL;DR: In this article, the optical scattering cross-section of the mesosphere and lower thermosphere of the solar diurnal thermal tide was observed and the apparent period, vertical wavelength and amplitude of these variations were obtained.
