Scientific paper

The partial reflection drift technique (PRD), which makes use of the fading of radio waves from the D-region, was employed to study winds in the mesosphere. Two sites for the measurements were compared with each other: Adelaide (35 S) and Jicamarca (12 S). Amplitude of the diurnal tide and gravity wave motions were evaluated at both sites. Whereas the diurnal tide was found to have greater measured amplitudes at Adelaide, gravity waves were observed to have similar dynamics at both locations.
