摘要: Abstract In November 1982 a partial reflection drifts system for the measurement of winds in mesosphere and lower thermosphere was installed as part New Zealand Antarctic Research Programme at Scott Base (77.8 S, 166.7 E). Ross Island, Antarctica. The wind speed direction are measured once an hour from echoes available time within height range 67–97 km. Initial observations made during December 1982, show westward between 70 90 km, reaching broad maximum about 25 m s −1 around 85 There is strong (10 ) meridional component away pole heights 85–95
