The present award was for correlative use of the Weber lidar (built and installed at ALOMAR under previous DURIP funding) for dynamics studies in the mesosphere, thermosphere, and ionosphere. Initial activities focused on expanded capabilities, frequency stability, and stable operations of the Weber...
