In music, the Lydian augmented scale (Lydian ♯5 scale) is the third mode of the ascending melodic minor scale.

Starting on C, the notes would be as follows:

{ \override Score.TimeSignature #'stencil = ##f \relative c' { \clef treble \time 7/4 c4^\markup { Lydian augmented scale on C } d e fis gis a b c } }

Generically the whole and half steps are: 

-  W -  W -  W -  W -  H -  W -  H -

The scale may be thought of as a major scale with an augmented fourth and fifth, or as the relative to the melodic minor ascending scale (C Lydian augmented and A melodic minor ascending share the same notes).
