Abstract

A coherent pulse Doppler Radar System at Waltair (17°43'N, 83°18'E) has been used to measure neutral winds in the altitude range 80-110 km. Preliminary results obtained during July and August 1979 are presented. The diurnal component is found to be the dominant tidal mode for most of the time. The results are compared with meteor wind observations at other stations.
