Mesospheric winds and temperature observations have been made along the Colorado front range using radar and optical measurement techniques. Horizontal winds in the mesosphere region are reported here from co-located 30 Mhz all-sky meteor radar and 2 MHz Medium Frequency (MF) radar. Concurrent mesospheric temperature measurements obtained from CCD spectrograph and Colorado State University (CSU) sodium (Na) Lidar (located at nearby Fort Collins) are also presented in this study. Intercomparison of horizontal winds derived from meteor and MF radar measurements is used in an effort to identify and quantify any statistically significant bias between the measurement techniques. Mesospheric temperature observations are also intercompared to quantify any systematic bias which may exist between lidar and CCD spectrograph measurements. Statistical estimation of temporal and spatial variation within the meteor radar field-of-view (FOV) are also computed.
