Gravity wave momentum fluxes from MF and meteor radar measurements in the polar MLT region

Annual cycles of horizontal winds and gravity wave (GW) momentum fluxes in the mesosphere/ lower thermosphere (MLT) are presented for the medium frequency Doppler radar at Saura (SMF radar, located at 69◦N, 16◦E) for the first time. Four year mean wind and momentum flux fields for 2008 through 2011...
