Abstract
The fading of radio waves reflected from the upper D-region of the ionosphere has been studied using the spaced receiver technique and full correlation analysis. The resulting ionospheric drift velocities are shown to provide reliable estimates of the motion of the neutral air in the reflection region. Strong tidal components are clearly evident, the diurnal tide being predominant. The drifts agree well in both magnitude and direction with radio measurements of drifts of meteor trails made at the same location and times.
