With early and ongoing climatological surveys established, continuing observations of the mesopause region over Fort Collins, Colorado are discussed, emphasizing the modification of Colorado State University`s two frequency lidar for simultaneous measurement of temperature vis Doppler Broadening and radial wind via Doppler shift. The application of a frequency-agile, tandem acousto-optical modulator system for three-frequency temperature/wind measurements free of contamination from atmospheric Na density fluctuations, as well as frequency characterization of this new apparatus, and future applications are considered.
