Airglow imager and dynasonde/IDI radar wind measurements at Halley Station, Antarctica (76S, 27W) have been used to estimate the diurnal variation of the vertical fluxes of horizontal momentum carried by highfrequency atmospheric gravity waves. The cross-correlation coefficients between the vertical...
