Scientific paper

The VHF radar at Jicamarca (12.0 deg S, 76.9 deg W) was used to probe the mesosphere for 24 hours on May 23-24, 1974. The inferred zonal wind shows a strong eastward prevailing component below 75 km for these winter conditions, as would be expected from the annual and semiannual oscillations. The zonal winds are in good agreement in their region of overlap with rocket observations made at Ascension Island (8.0 deg S, 14.4 deg W) for the same period. This is the first direct confirmation that Jicamarca VHF observations are measuring mesospheric winds.
