McMurdo Project Detail: |
McMurdo Project: Previous Deployments of the Fe Boltzmann Temperature LidarWe deployed this lidar to the North Pole and Arctic on board the NSF/NCAR Electra aircraft in 1999, to the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station in 1999-2001, and to Rothera Station, Antarctica in 2002-2005. Extensive datasets and significant scientific results on atmospheric temperatures, polar mesospheric clouds, mesospheric Fe density, and gravity waves have been obtained at the South Pole (90°S) and Rothera (67.5°S) with this lidar.

This map shows the lidar's route via the Electra aircraft. Measurements were taken in flight over the Atlantic Ocean.
North Pole and Arctic (1999)

Aircraft controls show 90 degrees, exact North Pole position.
Dr. Chu monitors the lidar in operation aboard the Electra aircraft.
