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