Multistatic meteor radar observations of gravity-wave–tidal interaction over southern Australia

This paper assesses the ability of a recently installed 55 MHz multistatic meteor radar to measure gravity-wave-driven momentum fluxes around the mesopause and applies it in a case study of measuring gravity wave forcing on the diurnal tide during a period following the autumnal equinox of 2018. The radar considered is in the vicinity of Adelaide, South Australia (34.9.sup." S, 138.6.sup." E), and consists of a monostatic radar and bistatic receiver separated by approximately 55 km.
