Abstract
Advances in laser technologies now permit the wind, temperature, and constituent structure of the atmosphere to be probed in exquisite detail from the surface to the edge of space. We review recent observations of meteor ablation trails using the 3.5 m telescope at the Starfire Optical Range, NM and airborne Fe lidar observations of temperatures and polar mesospheric clouds over the North and South Poles.
