International audience Meteor radar measurements of winds near 95 km in four azimuth directions from the geographic South Pole are analyzed to reveal characteristics of the 12-h oscillation with zonal wavenumber one ( s =1). The wind measurements are confined to the periods from 19 January 1995 thro...
