Observations of equatorial mesospheric winds over Cariri (7.4° S) by a meteor radar and comparison with existing models

Observations of equatorial mesospheric winds over Cariri (7.4° S) by a meteor radar and comparison with existing models

Mesospheric winds observed with a meteor radar at Cariri (7.4° S, 36.5° W), Brazil, during the period of July 2004 to June 2005, show a clear semiannual oscillation known as the Mesospheric Semiannual Oscillation (MSAO), which maximizes in the zonal mean wind mainly at 82 km, with...
