Descripción
The experimental study of sodium layer is relevant to fields such as
adaptive optics, in particular for laser guide star generation. We have
developed an instrument to make systematic measures of the most relevant
parameters of the sodium layer above canarian observatories. The
measurement provides information about sodium layer: the medium
altitude, the columnal abundance, the density profile and temporal
evolution. These observations are important to design the new generation
of adaptive optic instruments. We present the experimental set-up, the
first results of the experiment and the plans to conduct a statistical
study in the future.
