The past decade has seen a rapid increase in the use of wind profilers in atmospheric research [Gage, 1990]. Briefly, wind profilers are Doppler radars that observe winds from Doppler shifts of "clear air" atmospheric ...

This article describes a new method of measuring wind velocity profiles between 93 km and 110 km altitude by tracking non‐specular meteor echoes as neutral winds transport the plasma trails. This requires a large VHF radar ...

Incentives for using wind power and the increasing price of energy might generate in a relatively short time a scenario where low voltage customers opt to install roof-top wind turbines. This paper focuses on evaluating ...

Bearing in mind the current and pressing need for an update of the existing Chilean power supply system which has been remarkably influenced by new requirements the search for new energy supply sources has become a top priority.

A VHF (50 MHz) wind profiler was installed in Antarctica at the Peruvian Base Machu Picchu on King George Island from January 21 to 26. The wind profiler will provide a first look at atmospheric dynamics over the region. ...

To qualify as an MST radar, the system has to be capable of obtaining echoes from the mesosphere. This requirement limits the frequency range of these radars to the lower frequencies of the VHF band, i.e., between 30 and ...

The wind profiler at Piura, Peru (81°West, 6° South) has been in almost continuous operation since January 1989. The profiler is operated jointly by the University of Colorado (CIRES), NOAA's Aeronomy Lab, and the University ...

Zonal wind profiles in the daytime equatorial electrojet are inferred from the Doppler shifts of type II radar echoes observed at the Jicamarca Radio Observatory (JRO) in Perú. The inference is based on a three-dimensional ...
