Summary
Radar observations of the winds above the Antarctic coast have been underway since 1968 using meteor (Molodezhnaya, 45.9E, 67.75) and MF (Mawson 62.9E 67.65, Davis 78.0E, 68.65) radars. Comparisons between concurrent observations from Moldezhnaya and Mawson, and with other meteor radar systems aid the process of cross calibration of the measurements. Monthly tidal amplitudes and phases that have been extracted from these winds will be presented along with information on long-term trends.
