In many opto-electronic system, the requirements to the ability of optical filtering and optical frequency discrimination become higher and higher. If the traditional optical techniques are used, the problems of system stability, technical complications and costs of the system will be encountered. However, by using theIn many opto-electronic system, the requirements to the ability of optical filtering and optical frequency discrimination become higher and higher. If the traditional optical techniques are used, the problems of system stability, technical complications and costs of the system will be encountered. However, by using the high optical resolution technique based on atomic transitions, most of problems mentioned above can be overcome. When the atomic transition technique is used in the optical receiver, the same technique must be used in optical transmitter to control the laser frequency. In this way, an atomic transition controlled optical channel is formed. Here the function, principle and structure of an atomic controlled channel and some opto-electronic system using atomic channel technology are presented..

Comparison of the simultaneous horizontal wind observations by Na lidar, meteor radar and medium frequency radar
Sheng-yang GU, Tao LI, Liu Alan, Swenson Gary, Gardner Chester, Riggin Dennis, and Fritts David
Na lidar, meteor radar and medium frequency (MF) radar are three significant techniques in measuring mesospheric horizontal wind fields and were extensively used nowadays. With the three instruments, simultaneous observations were operated for many nights in Hawaii from 2002 to 2005. The horizontal winds observations aNa lidar, meteor radar and medium frequency (MF) radar are three significant techniques in measuring mesospheric horizontal wind fields and were extensively used nowadays. With the three instruments, simultaneous observations were operated for many nights in Hawaii from 2002 to 2005. The horizontal winds observations as long as 8 hours at two nights of July 9, 2002 and October 23, 2003 were chosen and analyzed to study the differences of the three techniques. It is found that the wind amplitudes observed by Na lidar and meteor radar are agreeable with each other normally, but both much larger than MF radar observations. The vertical variations of the nightly mean wind observations show that the three instruments could obtain consistent (evidently discrepant) wind observations when the wind amplitudes and the corresponding shear are weak (strong)..

The first daytime sodium lidar observations in China were made in Wuhan (30°30′N, 114°E). In a long observation cycle lasting more than two days, the sodium layer presented strong diurnal variations. The sodium column density, layer width and centroid height, all presented 24 h periodic variations. The densitThe first daytime sodium lidar observations in China were made in Wuhan (30°30′N, 114°E). In a long observation cycle lasting more than two days, the sodium layer presented strong diurnal variations. The sodium column density, layer width and centroid height, all presented 24 h periodic variations. The density variation at each height also presents a clear 24 h downward wave phase propagation. All these can be attributed to a prominent diurnal tidal wave perturbation, and the derived phase agrees very well with that obtained from the GSWM00 model. A large sodium diurnal variation was also presented in three other shorter daytime observations, while the mean diurnal variations of the sodium layer present a prominent structure of diurnal tidal wave propagation. These results agree with early reports, namely, that the diurnal tide component is the dominant tide wave over Wuhan..

Jia-yuan TANG, and Dong WU
Aerosol production and transmission over oceans are related to wind in some extent. Research on the relationship between wind speed and aerosol might increase the accuracy of forecast, which has important meaning to atmospheric model. The relationship between aerosol optical depth (AOD) and sea surface wind speed was eAerosol production and transmission over oceans are related to wind in some extent. Research on the relationship between wind speed and aerosol might increase the accuracy of forecast, which has important meaning to atmospheric model. The relationship between aerosol optical depth (AOD) and sea surface wind speed was explored using remotely sensed data from cloud-aerosol lidar with orthogonal polarization (CALIOP) on board CALIPSO satellite and collocated advanced microwave scanning radiometer (AMSR-E) on board AQUA satellite. Measurements in eight months (January, April, July and October, 2007 and 2008) were used to study the relationship between sea surface wind speed and AOD at the wavelength of 532 nm, and its changes with seasons and years. The results show that, in cloud free condition, aerosol optical depth over global ocean is related to sea surface wind speed. For wind speed less than 12 m/s, AOD increases with wind speed. For wind speed between 4 m/s and 12 m/s, AOD increases quasi-linearly with the increase in surface wind. For higher wind speed values, i.e. wind speed is more than 14 m/s, and the relationship shows a tendency toward leveling off..

During daytime, spaceborne lidar has a poor signal to noise ratio due to the irradiation of direct sunlight and the sky. Based on the existing retrieval model, sea surface wind speeds of day and night were retrieved using CALIPSO lidar 532 nm day and night single-shot data of January, April, July and October in 2007, with aerosol optical depth (AOD) for two-way atmospheric transmittance correction. The collocated version 7 AMSR-E sea surface wind speeds were used as the true values for comparison. The results show that, it is feasible to use CALIPSO daytime lidar data for sea surface wind speed retrieval, and the precision can be increased with the use of appropriate retrieval model..

Shu-xiao WEI, and Dong WU
The cloud vertical structure (CVS) acts an important aspect of cloud characteristics and atmospheric model. The vertical distribution statistics of clouds over China Sea and adjacent sea area were derived from the Cloud Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observations (CALIPSO) level 2 version 3 lidar cloudThe cloud vertical structure (CVS) acts an important aspect of cloud characteristics and atmospheric model. The vertical distribution statistics of clouds over China Sea and adjacent sea area were derived from the Cloud Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observations (CALIPSO) level 2 version 3 lidar cloud layer data from 2007 to 2010. The results show that the cloud occurrence frequencies (COF) of single and multi-layer clouds over the mentioned area are different, and the layer-top-altitude (LTA) occurrence frequencies have obvious difference with latitude. High clouds (10~20 km) have high occurrence frequency near equator. Because there are some opacity clouds, the result of layer-number and LTA may be smaller than the real situation..

The transmission spectrum of FADOF is stable as it is based on an atomic transition, and slightly tunable with a magnet due to Zeeman effect. The high frequency stability of FADOF provides a high velocity accuracy, and the tunability of FADOF transmission spectrum makes the measurement range flexible. An experimental lidar system was described based on cesium FADOFs, and the experimental error is of 0.74 m/s over velocities ranging from -40 to 40 m/s..

Combined with data obtained by the radiosonde at the same period, it illustrates the characteristics and changes of aerosols in the boundary layer and lower stratosphere. Observational data indicates that in the cloudless and clear day, aerosol extinction coefficient descends gradually from low to high altitude. In cloudy weather, aerosol extinction coefficient increases at the cloud layer. In addition, the low-altitude aerosol extinction coefficient has apparent diurnal variation characteristics that aerosol extinction coefficient in the morning is lower than that of evening. During the experiment, the mean optical thickness from the ground to 10 km is 0.52..

Based on Fernald’s and Klett’s method, a new expression of the atmospheric extinction coefficient boundary value was presented. This expression was a formula that has two more terms than Collis’ method. The absolute value of the two terms may account for 78.2% of the term in Collis’ method and have opposite sign. TakinBased on Fernald’s and Klett’s method, a new expression of the atmospheric extinction coefficient boundary value was presented. This expression was a formula that has two more terms than Collis’ method. The absolute value of the two terms may account for 78.2% of the term in Collis’ method and have opposite sign. Taking the two terms into consideration, aerosol optical depth (AOD) derived by lidar is closer to the observed one by sun-photometer. With the change of reference height, the derived AOD ranging from 0.20 to 0.25 and the variance is about 0.003, showing that this approach is independent from reference height and relatively stable. 424 clear sky data were selected in the inversion. AOD derived by lidar is 7.4% bigger than the observed one. The correlation coefficient is 0.932, the relative error is 10.9%, the absolute error is 0.03 and the variance is 0.02. The approach has a better performance when AOD is less than 0.45..

The structures and optical properties of the cirrus clouds as well as their spatial and temporal variations were discussed and analyzed. The results show that cirrus clouds change from thin to thick, observed ranging from 7 to 10 km, with a mean thickness of (2.0±0.5) km. During this period, the samples have temperature between -51℃ and -39℃. The cloud optical depth increases and then decreases with increasing geometrical depth, ranging from 0.084 to 1.649, with a mean value of 0.651±0.403. Lidar ratio of cirrus clouds is (17±17) sr and it’s found that lidar ratio of optically thin cirrus is larger than that of thick cirrus. Thin cirrus clouds with ambient temperature below -45℃ occurr above 8.6 km and its thickness is lower than 1.8 km. The lidar ratio of thin cirrus is between 5 and 69 sr..
