Coordinated Optical and Radar Image Measurements of Noctilucent Clouds and Polar Mesospheric Summer Echoes
Novel coincident 3-D radar, lidar and optical image measurements of dynamical structures in polar mesosphere summer echoes (PMSE) and noctilucent clouds (NLC) are presented.

Observations of D-Region Structure and Atmospheric Tides with PFISR During Active Aurora
We report on combined spectral measurements of the D-region ionosphere and the polar summer mesosphere and lower thermosphere performed on 9 June 2007 with the 450 MHz Poker Flat Incoherent…

Meteor-Head Echo Observations Using an Antenna Compression Approach with the 450 MHz Poker Flat Incoherent Scatter Radar
In this work we present a novel use of the Poker Flat Incoherent Scatter Radar (PFISR) to study meteor-head echoes with wide (W) beams.

PFISR and ROPA Observations of Pulsating Aurora
In the process of modeling the volume emission rates, the PFISR data are inverted to calculate the associated electron energy distribution for comparison with in situ electron measurements from ROPA…

Pfisr Observations of Strong Azimuthal Flow Bursts in the Ionosphere and Their Relation to Nightside Aurora
We present two flow burst events observed by the new Poker Flat Advanced Modular Incoherent Scatter Radar (PFISR) in the pre-midnight auroral zone on 28 April 2007, one towards the…

The Temporal Evolution of O(1D) Emission in Ionospheric Modification Experiments
Understanding processes involving atomic oxygen is crucial for the study of energy transfer and transport dynamics in the upper atmosphere.

Case Studies of Aerosol Remote Sensing in the Vicinity of Clouds
In this paper, we describe aerosol observations collected near cloud edges by an airborne Sun photometer over dark ocean waters.

Observations of Polar Mesospheric Summer Echoes Using Pfisr During the Summer of 2007
The Poker Flat Incoherent Scatter Radar (PFISR) has been running nearly continuously throughout the summer of 2007, which permits an unprecedented, long-term study of polar mesospheric summer echoes (PMSE) at UHF.

Saturn Atmospheric Science in the Next Decade
In this White Paper, we use the discoveries from three decades of Saturn exploration to assess the important scientific goals in the coming decade. Many are similar to the case…

Impact of Tropospheric Nitrogen Dioxideon the Regional Radiation Budget
We parameterized NO2 absorption for fast radiative transfer calculations. Using this parameterization with cloud, surface, and NO2 information from different sensors in the NASA A-train constellation of satellites and NO2…
