Abstract
AbstractAn account is given of the development and application of a system for the study of high altitude winds using the radio meteor method. Three main subjects have been investigated : atmospheric tides and short term wind oscillations possibly resulting from internal atmospheric gravity waves, wind shears in the meteor zone and finally the nature of drifts obtained with the spaced receiver ionosonde technique. The Sheffield system has been steadily expanding and current developments as well as other projects linked with the Sheffield experiment are described.
