Item Restricted Vertical ionization drifts in the lower equatorial ionosphere and the meridional current systems(American Geophysical Union, 1976-03-01) Balsley, B. B; Carter, D. A.; Woodman Pollitt, Ronald FranciscoRecent radar observations near the magnetic equator show that the electron vertical drift velocity below 200 km is upward during the day and downward at night, in agreement with measurements made at higher heights. The electron vertical drifts are consistent with meridional current theories. According to the theories the ion vertical drifts must be somewhat larger than the electron drifts to produce the predicted current system.Item Restricted Wind profiler installed in Antarctica(American Geophysical Union, 1993-08) Balsley, B. B; Carey, J.; Woodman Pollitt, Ronald Francisco; Sarango, M.; Urbina, J.; Rodríguez, R.; Ragaini, E.A VHF (50 MHz) wind profiler was installed in Antarctica at the Peruvian Base Machu Picchu on King George Island from January 21 to 26. The wind profiler will provide a first look at atmospheric dynamics over the region. The profiler-the first of its kind in Antarctica-is a National Science Foundation sponsored cooperative project of the University of Colorado, the Geophysical Institute of Peru, the University of Piura (Peru), and the Peruvian Navy. This venture was also greatly facilitated by Peru's Comision Nacional de Asuntos Antartidos and Consejo Nacional de Ciencias y Tecnologia, with additional logis tics support provided by the Argentinean Navy and the Uruguayan Air Force.
