Radars provide a useful means of determining winds in the                  upper atmosphere by means of the shift in frequency of the                      returned signal (the doppler shift) that is proportional to the                 wind speed and defined in altitude by the range measurement of                  the radar.  At nighttime the ionosphere largely recombines below                100km and there is an absence of scatterers in the 50 to 100 km                 region, except for the ionized tails of meteors.  (Meteors are                  the visual manifestation of the penetration into the atmosphere                 of tiny fragments of interplanetary material, mostly the size of                a grain of sand or smaller, with occasionally a larger one, that                mostly burn up on entry).  The meteor radar data reveal the                     presence of tides, planetary waves, seasonal and solar cycle                    variations in winds.  This award is for analysis of a 13 year set               to be prepared for the CEDAR data base and made available to the                Aeronomy community generally, and used in the generation of                     models of middle atmosphere winds.
