A Low-Cost, Remotely-Deployable Meteor Radar System for Mesosphere/Ionosphere Coupling Studies

Abstract

The fundamental objective of this project is the development of a low-cost remotely deployable meteor radar system. This system will provide measurements of the neutral wind in the mesosphere and lower-thermosphere as determined using radio reflection from meteor trails. Our goal is to design, construct and deploy this system to Platteville, Colorado to make continuous wind measurements.
