| Description | The Aeronomy Laboratory Field Station of the University of Illinois at Urbana contains three different radar systems capable of probing various regions of the atmosphere below about 100 km. These are an mesosphere-stratosphere-troposphere (MST) radar, a VHF meteor radar and an MF partial-reflection radar. All three radars can measure winds and waves in the ionospheric D region. The MST radar is, in addition, capable of probing the lower stratosphere and upper troposphere. A sodium (Na) LIDAR is also located at the Field Station and provides an additional way of studing winds and waves in the mesosphere by observing temporal variations in the sodium density profile. |
