Davis 33MHz Meteor Detection Radar Winds
This data set contains the characteristics of meteor detections from a 33MHz meteor detection radar operating at Davis station, Antarctica. The direction of arrival and radial velocity of these meteor detections can be used to infer average wind speed in the height range 75-105 km (depending on the...
