Kyoto Meteor Radar Observation in November, 1981 and May, 1982

The Kyoto meteor radar a pulsed Doppler radar and operates at 31.57 MHz ith peak power of 10 kW. An interferometer is adopted for arrival angle measurement. Height resolution is approximately 1 to 3 km depending on both azimuth and elevation angles. Data is analyzed according to an algorithm approved by GROVES. All data in height range 84 to 104 km are separated into five layers, whose altitude width is 4 km. In each layer, least square fitting is performed for ten parameters, which are amplitudes of northward/eastward mean wind and sin/cos component of diurnal/semidiurnal tide. Reliable range for each parameter is also calculated.
