Profiles of neutral atmosphere winds 4hour average with MF radar at Wakkanai, Japan.

ResourceID
spase://IUGONET/NumericalData/NICT/SALMON/WAK/MFradar/FCAWind/PT4H_txt

Description

The radar transmits radio pulses vertically into the upper atmosphere at 1.9585 MHz. Returns will be produced by stratified layers and irregularities in the ionospheric D-region, to deduce height profiles of neutral atmosphere winds 4hour average at 50-100 km.
