Dynamics of the Mesosphere and Lower Thermosphere.

Abstract

The objective of the work described in this report was to make observations on the mesosphere and lower thermosphere using several different experimental techniques. The results obtained were then to be used to obtain a better understanding of the dynamics of the region. The techniques employed were: Meteor radar, laser radar, ionospheric soundings, and ionospheric drifts. The report describes the observations and the results obtained from each experiment.
