Abstract :
The possibility of using terrestrial television (TV) broadcast signals (TVBS) as sounding signals for mesosphere-lower thermosphere (MLT, 80-105 km) wind measurements by the radio meteor method is investigated. Results of experimental observations show for the first time that TVBS can be used for MLT wind measurements and that the developed technique may be used for MLT wind monitoring on the base of the existing terrestrial TV broadcasting network.
