Scientific paper
The paper describes the initial results obtained during the first 60 days of continuous operation of the MST radar under construction at Poker Flat, Alaska. A comparison is made between tropospheric wind profiles obtained by the radar and concurrent windsonde profiles. It is reported that mesospheric echoes between 57-72 km are observed during daytime periods of ionospheric absorption, and that the mesospheric winds obtained following a stratospheric warming show a more easterly component than winds measured somewhat later. In conclusion, it is noted that the present system, which is three orders of magnitude less sensitive than the final system, is also capable of measuring ten day average winds between 83-95 km via meteor trail echoes.
