Profiles of neutral atmosphere winds 1day average with MF radar at Yamagawa, Japan.

ResourceID
spase://IUGONET/NumericalData/NICT/SALMON/YAM/MFradar/FCAWind/PT1D_txt

Description

The radar transmits radio pulses vertically into the upper atmosphere at 1.9550 MHz. Returns will be produced by stratified layers and irregularities in the ionospheric D-region, to deduce height profiles of neutral atmosphere winds 1day average at 50-100 km.
