The Nippon/Norway Svalbard Meteor Radar: First results of small-scale structure observations
The Nippon/Norway Svalbard Meteor Radar (NSMR), has been in operation since March 2001. While primarily thought of as an instrument for examining mean wind, tidal and gravity wave neutral atmosphere dynamics in the upper mesosphere region, it is also possible to investigate spatial and temporal stru...

Summary: | The Nippon/Norway Svalbard Meteor Radar (NSMR), has been in operation since March 2001. While primarily thought of as an instrument for examining mean wind, tidal and gravity wave neutral atmosphere dynamics in the upper mesosphere region, it is also possible to investigate spatial and temporal structure of temperature and windshear. Here, the radar itself is described followed by a presentation of these derived parameters. |
