2020 Workshop: Lidar Progress
From measurements that reveal long-term changes in the circulation to the physics of wave-wave interactions, lidar systems continue to provide unique and important high-resolution measurements for advancing CEDAR science. Lidar systems around the globe are making key measurements in understanding how meteorological processes are contributing to space weather, and the ion-neutral coupling processes in the middle and upper atmosphere. This workshop offers an opportunity to present and review recent progress in lidar science and engineering. The format of the workshop will be short presentations that will inform the CEDAR community about current progress and new opportunities. Time for open discussion at the end.
CEDAR students Arunima Prakash (University of Colorado) and Fan Yang (Embry Riddle Aeronautical University) will be covering the session for the CEDAR student letter. Please consider sharing copies of your presentation materials with them.
