From brideout at haystack.mit.edu Wed Aug 13 15:35:37 2008 From: brideout at haystack.mit.edu (William Rideout) Date: Wed Aug 13 15:36:58 2008 Subject: [OpenMadrigal-announce] UNH Durham Meteor Radar data now on Madrigal Message-ID: <48A33789.5010701@haystack.mit.edu> Data from the University of New Hampshire Durham Meteor Radar is now on the Madrigal database at http://www.haystack.mit.edu/madrigal. This data covers the years 1979-2002. The University of Hampshire Durham Meteor Radar data is given in three formats in Madrigal. The first data format is raw, meteor by meteor measurements, with line-of sight velocities converted to horizontal velocities using the measured elevation angle and the assumption of no vertical velocity. The second data format is hourly horizontal winds produced by hourly vector-least-square fits using all meteors but ignoring altitude variation. The third data format is a fit to a Groves model, with assumed periods of 48, 24, and 12 hours, along with average values. Each data format is stored in a separate Madrigal file, and has its own plots available.
