Abstract
A method developed by G. V. Groves for the analysis of meteor winds has been used on chemical release wind data from rockets. Velocity amplitudes, phases, and amplitude errors for winds with periods of 8, 12, and 24 hours were computed in the 95- to 135-km region. An average wind, assumed to represent a constant prevailing wind was also computed in this altitude range. Vertical wavelengths and phase differences of the northward and eastward components of the prevailing and tidal winds are calculated and compared with recent results. Dissipative forces are also shown to be acting on the propagating diurnal and semidiurnal tides in the height range from 95 to 135 km.
