[OpenMadrigal-announce] UNH Durham Meteor Radar data now on Madrigal

[William Rideout]

Data from the University of New Hampshire Durham Meteor Radar is now on 
the Madrigal database at http://www.haystack.mit.edu/madrigal.  This 
data covers the years 1979-2002.  The University of Hampshire Durham 
Meteor Radar data is given in three formats in Madrigal. The first data 
format is raw, meteor by meteor measurements, with line-of sight 
velocities converted to horizontal velocities using the measured 
elevation angle and the assumption of no vertical velocity. The second 
data format is hourly horizontal winds produced by hourly 
vector-least-square fits using all meteors but ignoring altitude 
variation. The third data format is a fit to a Groves model, with 
assumed periods of 48, 24, and 12 hours, along with average values. Each 
data format is stored in a separate Madrigal file, and has its own plots 
available.
