Profiles of neutral atmosphere winds 4hour average with MF radar at Yamagawa, Japan.
ReleaseDate
2012-03-28 06:00:00
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 4hour average at 50-100 km.
