SouthTRAC-GW, Tierra del Fuego and Antarctic Peninsula

Date: September-October 2019
Instruments: ALIMA lidar, GLORIA, radiosondes, gliders
Platform: HALO
Base: EARG Station in Rio Grande, Tierra del Fuego, Argentina
Map: from Fig. 5, Rapp et al., BAMS, 2020
Dataset: seven research flights of approx. 7000 km each

SOUTHWAVE, Rio Grande, Tierra del Fuego, Argentina

Date: since Nov 2017
Instruments: CORAL lidar
Platform: Ground-based
Location: EARG Station in Rio Grande, Tierra del Fuego, Argentina
Coordinates: 53.79 S, 67.75 W
Dataset: 4000 h

PMC-Turbo, Arctic

Date: 8 - 14 July 2018
Instrument: BOLIDE lidar
Platform: NASA long-duration balloon
Location: Flight from Kiruna, Sweden to western Nunavut, Canada
Dataset: 100 h

PMC-Turbo is a long duration balloon mission of NASAs sumemr 2018 balloon programme. PMC-Turbo is dedicated to the study of noctilucent clouds or polar mesospheric clouds by lidar and camera from a balloon-borne platform. The balloon flew from Kiruna, Sweden to western Nunavut, Canada during almost six days at 39 km floating altitude. Several cameras provided high-resolution NLC imagery, and the BOLIDE lidar high-resolution vertical soundings of the mesospheric ice layers as well as temperature and gravity waves above the balloons floating altitude.

LART-A/ARISE-2, Bavarian Forest, Germany

Date: May 2015 - Sep 2016
Instruments: CORAL lidar
Platform: Ground-based
Location: GERES station atop Sulzberg, Bavarian Forest, Germany
Coordinates: 48.84 N, 13.67 E
Dataset: 485 h

CORAL was set up close to Oberpfaffenhofen in order to facilitate easier access for upgrade of the instrument before shipment to south America. It was deployed to GERES station atop Sulzberg in direct vicinity of the infrasound array I26DE within the ARISE-2 Eu project. The lidar continuously performed middle atmospheric soundings for temperature, waves and clouds.

GW-LCYCLE2, Scandinavia and NORTHWAVE, Sodankylä, Finland

Date: Sep 2015 - April 2016
Instruments: CORAL lidar
Platform: Ground-based
Location: Sodankylä Geophysical Observatory, Sodankylä, Finland
Coordinates: 67.37 N, 26.62 E
Dataset: 492 h

The GW-LCYCLE2 field campaign was a coordinated effort including the flights with the multi-instrumented Falcon aircraft, radiosonde launches from Esrange, Kiruna, Sweden and lidar operations in Sodankylä, Finland, Kiruna, Sweden and Andøya, Norway.

DEEPWAVE, New Zealand

Date: June - November 2014
Instruments: TELMA lidar
Platform: Ground-based
Location: NIWA station at Lauder, Central Otago, South Island, New Zealand
Coordinates: 45.04 S, 169.68 E
Dataset: 754 h

First light, Oberpfaffenhofen
