ntroduction to the Re-locatable Atmospheric Observatory in China
The atmospheric environment in the near space (20-100 km) plays a significant role in the energy and momentum coupling between the upper atmospheric space weather and the lower atmospheric meteorology. In order to exploring the near space atmosphere, a Relocatable Atmospheric Observatory (RAO) has been being developed in China. In this RAO, there are a Sodium wind/temperature lidar for measuring the atmospheric wind, temperature and Sodium density profiles of the Sodium layer within 75-110 km, and a mobile Doppler wind lidar for measuring the atmospheric wind profile from the near earth surface up to 40 km, and a mobile FP wind interferometer for measuring the horizontal winds near mesopause region, and an all-sky airglow imager for exploring the gravity waves over the mesopause region, and a Medium-Frequency (MF) partial reflection radar for measuring the horizontal atmospheric wind and electron density of the mesosphere and lower thermosphere within 60-100km for day time and 80-100km for nighttime, and a meteor radar for measuring the horizontal winds and meteor flux within 70-110 km. Besides the above ground-based instruments, the stratospheric balloon dropsonde technique for measuring the atmospheric wind, temperature, humidity and pressure profiles below the height of the stratospheric balloon, and the dropsonde launched by rocket exploring the atmospheric wind and temperature within 20-60km are developed. All of the ground-based instruments are designed for re-locatable so that the observatory can be moved to a new site for new observations within a short time. This RAO will operate routinely in 2010 and provide abundant data for the researches of the atmospheric structure and dynamics in China, which will help to promote the knowledge of the dynamical coupling among the atmospheric layers.
