Upper atmosphere wind observations at Adelaide 35 deg S, August 1974
Abstract
This paper presents a brief description of the Adelaide radio meteor wind system, and a discussion of winds observed during the first interval of the Co-operative Tidal Observations Program, 10-16 August 1974. Hourly values of the zonal and meridional winds were obtained at height intervals of 2 km between 80 and 100 km throughout the period of observation. The main features of the winds are prevailing components, 24- and 12-h tidal components, quasi two-day oscillations and significant wind energy at long periods.
