“…This study was enabled by the coordinated observations with two Na Doppler lidars of the Consortium of Resonance and Rayleigh Lidars (CRRL) at Boulder, CO, and Logan, UT, in collaboration with an AMTM [ Pautet et al , ] located at Bear Lake Observatory (41.9°N, 111.4°W) nearby Logan, in the night of 27 November 2013, from ~1 to 13 UT. Under the CRRL umbrella, the Consortium Technology Center, hosted by the University of Colorado Boulder, operates a Student Training and Atmospheric Research (STAR) Na Doppler lidar from the Table Mountain Lidar Observatory (40.1°N, 105.2°W) north of Boulder [ Smith et al , ; Huang et al , ], while the Utah State University (USU) lidar group operates a Na Doppler lidar from the USU campus in Logan (41.7°N, 111.8°W) [ Yuan et al , ].…”
