“…Changes in pitch would tilt the laser offnadir and induce a Doppler shift, detuning the Na-absorption from the source wavelength. During space shuttle docking, the ISS changed attitude by up to ±122 mrad (±7 o ) (Treder, 1999;Budzien et al, 2011), but this no longer occurs. Figure 4b shows the Doppler Na absorption cross-section in the ISS reference frame for different off-nadir angles.…”

The Atmospheric Coupling and Dynamics Across the Mesopause (ACaDAMe) is a mission designed to uniquely address critical questions involving multi-scale wave dynamics at key space weather (SWx) "gateway altitudes" of the mesosphere and lower thermosphere (MLT) at ∼70-150 km. ACaDAMe observes with a nadir-pointing resonant lidar that utilizes the fluorescence of atomic Na present in the MLT. By tuning a laser to the Na absorption wavelength (589 nm), ACaDAMe would perform very high resolution measurements of temperature and Na densities across the mesopause during both day and night. In this manner, Na is used as tracer for observing and characterizing MLT waves generated by tropospheric weather that represent the dominant terrestrial source of energy and momentum affecting space weather and transport of mesospheric species.
