    A vehicle-mounted sodium fluorescence scattering Doppler lidar and a vehicle-mounted 532 nm Rayleigh scattering Doppler lidar have been developed for wind and temperature observations in near space region. Three-frequency-ratio Doppler measurement method was used to obtain wind and temperature from 80 km to 100 km in the sodium fluorescence scattering Doppler lidar. And Iodine absorption line edge technique was employed to measure wind speed below 70 km, integration method was used to measure temperature below 80 km in the 532 nm Rayleigh scattering Doppler lidar. When the range resolution was 1 km and the temporal resolution was 1 h, the uncertainties of measured temperature and wind speed were about 0.2 K and 0.4 m/s at 40 km, 1.5 K and 5.5 m/s at 70 km, 0.3 K and 1.0 m/s at 92 km. The two lidars have carried out long-term observations in Beijing, Qinghai, Gansu. The data are used for near space environmental characteristics researches.
