Profiles of neutral atmosphere winds 30min average with MF radar at Poker Flat, Alaska.

ResourceID
spase://IUGONET/NumericalData/NICT/SALMON/PF/MFradar/METWind/PT30M_txt

Description
The radar transmits radio pulses vertically into the upper atmosphere at 2.43 MHz. Returns will be produced by stratified layers and irregularities in the ionospheric D-region, to deduce height profiles of neutral atmosphere winds at 50-100 km.
