There has been much discussion as to the veracity of neutral wind measurements made using medium-frequency radar (MFR) employing the spaced-antenna technique. Such systems are able to operate continuously, providing information on mesosphere and lower thermosphere dynamics with typical resolutions of 3 km in altitude and 5 min in time, and thus represent a low-cost monitoring of the atmosphere. It is similarly important to be able to trust the results, and therefore we make a dedicated comparison between the Troms¿ MFR (70¿N, 19¿E) and the newly installed and colocated Nippon/Norway Troms¿ meteor radar. The agreement is particularly good between 75 and 85 km. |
