Thermospheric Observations Combining Chemical Seeding and Ground Based Techniques. Part 1 Winds, Turbulence and the Parameters of the Neutral Atmosphere

摘要

Two Skylark sounding rockets carrying chemical seeding payloads were launched from Woomera, South Australia (31 deg S, 137 deg E) in October 1969. In conjunction with these firings, the University of Adelaide conducted ground-based experiments on the upper atmosphere using the radio meteor and spaced receiver drift methods. The measurements of properties of the neutral atmosphere above 90 km which were obtained from these experiments are presented. (Author)
