Abstract

Mean winds and tides at meteoric heights have been observed with a meteor radar system located at Durham, N. H. Measurements show that mean winds are, in general, larger than periodic components and that the semidiurnal tide does conform to model predictions. Diurnal and longer period variations, however, are quite variable and show much less coherence.
