Scientific paper

Meteor wind observations were conducted with the middle and upper atmosphere (MU) radar at Shigaraki, Japan (35 deg N, 136 deg E), utilizing an interferometer to determine the arrival angle of a meteor echo. Meteor echoes are widely distributed in zenith angles as large as 50 deg and the narrow main lobe of a transmitting antenna cannot effectively detect meteor trails; but the sidelobes of the antenna illuminate most of meteor trails. Wind velocity profiles determined using meteor echoes are consistent with MU radar observations determined using turbulence echoes.
