Scientific paper

Wind measurements using a meteor trail radar which performed during two June solstice and three December solstice months were analyzed to study the tidal winds over Trivandrum (8.5 deg N). The terdiurnal (8 h) component of wind was found to be as significant as the diurnal and semidiurnal components. The modulations in the altitude profiles of amplitude and phase of the tidal wind components are interpreted to be due to higher-order tidal modes. The amplitudes and vertical wavelengths of the tidal modes observed in the meteor zone are discussed.
