Measurements of metastable helium in Earth’s atmosphere by resonance lidar

Metastable helium is a promising target for remote-sensing observations of Earth’s thermosphere. This paper reports on the development of a resonance lidar capable of resolving metastable helium density profiles and presents initial results
