| Description: |
Meteor radar observations at São João do Cariri (7.4°S, 36.5°W), Cachoeira Paulista (23°S, 45°W) and Santa Maria (29.7°S, 53.7°W) have permitted estimates to be made of winds and temperature in the mesosphere and lower thermosphere (MLT). Using horizontal winds the lunar semidiurnal tide was determined from January 2005 to December 2008 for these three sites. In January 2006 an unusual enhancement was observed in the lunar tide amplitude at these stations, for meridional and zonal components. [Source: Journal of Atmospheric and Solar-Terrestrial Physics]
