Abstract
The spatial and temporal structures of internal gravity waves (JGW) detecte d at heights of 80-100 km by analyzing experimental wind-velocity measureme nts made with two meteor radar stations are reported. An analysis of simult aneous spatial sounding measurements of the height and radial drift velocit ies of meteor trails in two orthogonal or opposite directions made it possi ble to detect IGW and to determine their parameters in regions 250-300 km a part.
