Abstract
Fifteen months of daily mean winds, semi-diurnal tides, and gravity wa ves observed from the Canadian Prairies MF radar network were examined to find correlations in their amplitude fluctuations. In all cases, t he correlations of the wave/winds between the three sites were greater than 95% significant. Generally, while the correlations between the v arious wave/winds types were much weaker, there was evidence of gravit y wave/tidal and tidal/mean wind interactions.
