In this paper, winds derived from OH Meinel 892.0 nm detection by an FPI (Fabry-Perot Interferometer) are compared with the simultaneous wind measurements from a meteor radar during April-May of 2010. The peak height of OH Meinel 892.0 nm is about 87 km. The variations of FPI wind at 87 km mostly have the similar track to meteor radar wind at 87 km, and the data values of FPI wind mainly fall into the range of meteor radar wind. However, there are still quantitative differences between the observations of the two systems. The best cross-correlation occurs in meridional winds from two systems in April of 2010. An obvious wave signal with 0.2 cycle/d frequency is found in meridional winds observed by both FPI and meteor radar.
On June 3,2010,the first meteorological rocket of the Meridian Space Weather Monitoring Project was successfully launched at the Hainan rocket launch site(19.5°N),China.This paper analyzes the vertical profiles of atmospheric temperature and wind recorded by the rocket and its supportive balloons,and investigates wind shear,gravity waves and atmospheric stability.In addition,we compare the vertical profiles of atmospheric temperature and wind with SABER/TIMED temperature measurements and the modeling results of MSIS00 and HWM07.
