Scientific paper

Three types of radars have demonstrated, during the 1980's, the capibility of measuring winds with useful resolution (2-3 km in the vertical, sampling rates, 1-12 hr-1): medium frequency (MF) using the spaced antenna method, LF systems using similar techniques, and meteor radars, some associated with S.T. radars. The techniques used, assumptions and examples of winds data are shown for each major type of system. The MLT network is now active in the WITS/ CEDAR and STEP (1990-1995) programs, for the latter the project is called MLTCS (Mesosphere, Lower Thermosphere Coupling Study). It involves climatologies of mean winds, tides and planetary waves, interactions between these waves, and solar, magnetospheric influences. Some examples of these data are shown.
