PROCEEDINGS OF THE WORKSHOP ON METHODS OF OBTAINING WINDS AND DENSITIES FROM RADAR METEOR TRAIL RETURNS

Abstract

The first day of the four-day meeting held 16-19 August 1966 was devoted to technical descriptions of six radar meteor trail systems. Methods of deriving winds, wind shears and geometric height of the trails were presented on the second day. Discussions of ambipolar diffusion rates and derived atmospheric densities and density-heights were the topics for the third day. On the last day the discussion centered around the use of the data by the meteorologist. The height resolution and data rates needed for climatological, tidal and turbulence studies were delineated. Two papers on wind studies at Sheffield, England and at Adelaide, Australia were presented.
