The results of simultaneous meteor and Thomson scatter radar wind measurements in the 65-105 km altitude region are presented. The two radars are located in Puerto Rico where the 430-MHz Thomson scatter radar at Arecibo Observatory is employed along with the French (CNET) portable meteor radar which is at a 40-km distance. The two sets of wind measurements compare quite favorably during periods of coincident observation. The meteor radar yields continuous results while the Thomson scatter radar is usable only during daylight hours. The Thomson scatter results, on the other hand, extend down to 65 km altitude and are available with better height and time resolutions than the meteor radar results. The two measurement techniques are therefore complementary.
