The purpose of this project is to install and operate a sodium                  lidar at the South Pole Station to study the dynamical behavior of              the upper atmosphere.  The lidar can detect the sodium layer at                 about 90 kilometers altitude, and by measuring the height and                   density of the layer determine the vertical motion of the upper                 atmosphere.  There has been a recent increase in interest in this               subject due to the discovery, by this investigator, that there was              a dramatic decrease, by a factor of 50, in sodium above Svalbard                in the arctic during July of 1987.  The reason for this loss is                 unknown, and it is important to determine whether a similar                     phenomenon occurs over the antarctic.                                                                                                                           The results, particularly the study of atmospheric gravity waves,               may shed some light on the dynamical characteristics of the                     antarctic ozone hole.                                                                                                                                           This research is jointly supported by the Division of Polar                     Programs and the Division of Atmospheric Sciences
