Radar Meteor Winds at Eglin AFB, Florida.

Abstract

The Stanford University Mark II Radar Meteor Trail System was moved to Eglin AFB, Florida for field testing and to make comparison of winds obtained by the rocket, chemical release method and the radar meteor method. Recommendations for locating and maintaining meteor radar systems, as well as modifications for the Mark II system suggested by the aircraft and satellite calibrations and by operating experience, are given.
