METADATA / README FOR TROPOSPHERIC AND MESOSPHERIC DATA FROM SOUSY-INSTALLATION, ADVENTDALEN 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Echoes from structures defined by refractive index variations at 53.5 MHz.

rules-of-the-road
----------------- 
Explanations and references can be obtained from the PI.
Use of these data require PIs to be acknowledged (preferably contacted regardless). 
Any publication process should invite the PIs as co-authors. 
Contact the nominal PI for further information.

where yyyy is the year, mm the month and dd the day.

The files contain all measured echo parameters and content is self-explanatory (with help from text in the files themselves).
Essentially, for each time-step, there is a header (parameter block) followed by a number of records (the number being given in the parameter block)
The sequence is repeated for that day. 

re-formatted versions of these files, as well as how to find summary plots are described by:
TROPOSPHERE: http://radars.uit.no/sousy6/METADATA_TROPOSPHERE.txt
MESOSPHERE: http://radars.uit.no/sousy6/METADATA_MESOSPHERE.txt

associated plots of temperature can be found at:
http://radars.uit.no/MWR/NSMR/caltemp30.png
Again, best effort, normally updated daily and showing last 30 days of estimates

associated text file of 90km temperature can be found at:
http://radars.uit.no/MWR/NSMR/caltemp.txt
Again, best effort, normally updated daily. One line per day; julian day number, year, month, day and temperature in Kelvin

associated text file of 90km horizontal winds can be found at:
http://radars.uit.no/MWR/NSMR/wind90.txt
Again, best effort, normally updated daily. One line per day; year, month, day zonal component (positive Eastwards, m/s), meridional component (positive Northwards, m/s)
(NOTE: experiment parameters were changed in 2001, so we recommend only using values from 2002 onwards)

Deeper access to temperature estimates and wind data from the co-located meteor wind radar ("NSMR") requires contact with both PIs but is normally unproblematic on a co-authorship basis
