Scientific paper

The wind corners measurements, over Andenes (Belgium), in winter and summer, are reported. The height levels at which they are seen in summer are higher than in winter. They appeared at some preferred heights around 86 to 88, 91 to 92 and 95 km. High resolution measurements above 92 to 93 km are possible by a new type of chaff which allows measurements up to about 100 km. This height is rather close to the limit (approximately 105 km) up to which the chaff cloud method can sensibly be used. The experiments are launched in salvos comprising several rockets, and an estimate on the lifetime of some wind corners is possible. Relations to turbulence and results obtained by radars are mentioned.
