The micropulse lidar (MPL) is a ground-based, optical, remote-sensing system designed primarily to determine the altitude of clouds; however, it is also used for detection of atmospheric aerosols. The physical principle is the same as for radar. Pulses of energy are transmitted into the atmosphere; the energy scattered back to the transceiver is collected and measured as a time-resolved signal, thereby detecting clouds and aerosols in real time. From the time delay between each outgoing pulse and the backscattered signal, the distance to the scatterer is inferred. Post-processing of the lidar return characterizes the extent and properties of aerosols or other particles in a region.

Multi-Doppler radar analysis from CSAPR, CHIVO, COW, and RMA-1 radars during the CACTI/RELAMPAGO experiments in Argentina in 2018

This data set contains multi-Doppler radar analysis from CSAPR-2, CSU-CHIVO, COW, and RMA-1 radars. These radars were collecting dual-polarization data during the CACTI/RELAMPAGO experiments in Argentina in 2018. Doppler analysis is systematically conducted for 31 days with convection. Three-dimensional wind fields are retrieved using the PyDDA algorithm. Dual-polarization information is also included in the data set.

Mariner II Deep Space Telecommunications

Two major telecommunication activities were in process during the Venus encounter of 1962, the largest, activity involved the two-way communications and tracking of the Mariner spacecraft from the DSIF (Deep Space Instrumentation Facility) stations on the earth. The first, and by far the largest activity involved the two-way communications and tracking of the Mariner spacecraft from the DSIF stations on the earth. The DSIF includes stations at Goldstone, California; Woomera, Australia; and Johannesburg, South Africa. The second activity involved an earth-based radar which reflected signals off the planet Venus during the same month that the Mariner spacecraft was traveling toward the planet.
