The coincident measurements span 96 hours and altitudes between 80 and 100 km. Statistical comparisons are carried out on radar/lidar winds with 1 hour and 4 km time and height resolution, respectively. The RMS radar/lidar wind component differences observed in this study are in the range 12–17 m/s at altitudes below 96 km. This is smaller than the RMS differences observed in a previous Na lidar and meteor radar comparison. Lidar wind component variances exceed radar variances, and radar/lidar covariance, is nearly equal to the radar variance. Excess variance observed by the lidar is consistent with the fact that the …

Simultaneous wind measurements in the mesopause region at Starfire Optical Range near Albuquerque, NM with Na wind/temperature lidar and meteor radar have been performed and compared. 20 nights of hourly data recorded with these two instruments at two layers around 86 and 93 km altitude are compared for both zonal and meridional wind components. The mean values are found to have no statistically significant differences. The correlation coefficients vary between 0.63 and 0.70, indicating that the two sets of measurements are broadly consistent. When comparing the averaged variations over the night, the two measurements are highly correlated, with correlation coefficients …
