Abstract. Zonal and meridional winds have been measured in the upper mesosphere and lower thermosphere at polar lat-itudes using two ground-based meteor radars. One radar is located at Rothera (68 ◦ S, 68 ◦ W) in the Antarctic and has been operational since February 2005. The second radar is located...
