Abstract

This paper details the research work carried out over some 35 years at the University of Canterbury′s research station near Rolleston in mid-Canterbury New Zealand on radar meteors and their radiants; on the ionic processes that control the duration of both radar and visual long enduring trains; radar work on the aurora; and an extensive programme of radar work mapping the details of the dynamics of the Earth′s mesosphere.
