METADATA / README FOR MESOSPHERIC DATA FROM SOUSY-INSTALLATION, ADVENTDALEN ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Echoes from structures defined by refractive index variations at 53.5 MHz. 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. Echo power plots ---------------- Daily plots of echo power as function of time (00-24UT) and altitude (50-99km) URL: http://radars.uit.no/sousy6/archive/yyyymmdd_1200_latest-MESO.png data-files ---------- Data-files reformatterd from the ATRAD (supplier of the radar) standard *.txt format are available from URL: URL: http://radars.uit.no/sousy6/PMSE/yyyymmdd_x-meso.txt where yyyy is the year, mm the month and dd the day. "x" is one of: p - power (dB) s - spectral width (Hz) v - vertical (Doppler) speed (m/s) Data coverage is on a "best effort" basis. the data consists of 97 heights, 1st ht 50 km, interval 0.5km appearing as sequential lines in the files each line contains year, month, day, hour (UT), minute and second followed by the parameter values.
