| Abstract: | A medium frequency partial-reflection spaced-antenna wind radar was installed at Scott Base (78S) on Ross Island, Antarctica, in November 1982. Results from this radar for the period December 1982 to October 1984 inclusive are compared with simultaneous measurements made with a similar radar at Christchurch (44S), N. Z. Monthly mean zonal winds measured at 80 km are compared with recent models for the Southern Hemisphere middle atmosphere. There is a general agreement with the models but there is evidence that the Christchurch winter flow was atypical in 1983. |
