摘要：

We describe the instrument structure and the operation of a Doppler Rayleigh lidar located at the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico. The device consists of an injection seeded, frequency doubled, Nd:YAG laser coupled with a small Newtonian telescope and a single etalon, Fabry-Perot interferometer in its receiver. With this combination of transmitter and receiver, observations of the Doppler spectral components of the Rayleigh backscattered signal from the atmosphere are possible. With it we have obtained the neutral winds and temperatures up to mesospheric heights. We also discuss the improvements to the instrument that are underway, enabling us to increase the temporal and spectral sampling of the winds.
