abstract = {Time series of mesosphere/lower thermosphere half-hourly
winds over Collm (51.3° N, 13.0° E) have been obtained
from 1984–2007 by low frequency (LF) spaced receiver
measurements and from 2004 to date by very high frequency
(VHF) meteor radar Doppler wind observations in the height
range 82–97 km. These observations are analysed with
respect to gravity wave (GW) climatology and trends. From
half-hourly differences of zonal and meridional winds, GW
variance proxies have been calculated that describe
amplitude variations in the period range 1–3 h. After
applying corrections to account for instrumental
differences, the GW climatology and time series have been
obtained. The mean GW activity in the upper mesosphere shows
maximum amplitudes in summer, while in the lower
thermosphere GWs maximize in winter. At altitudes around
90 km, positive/negative long-term trends are visible in
winter/summer, consistent with increasing/decreasing
mesospheric winds. In the lower thermosphere, however,
long-term amplitude trends are generally positive. We notice
qualitative correspondence of these trends with those
derived from satellite observations of potential energy
despite of different wavelength ranges seen by radar and
satellite. Quasi-decadal and interannual variations of GW
amplitudes and mean winds are also visible, showing a
possible influence of the 11-year solar cycle or lower
atmosphere circulation patterns.},
