Popis:	The AMOR meteor radar can measure meridional winds in the meteoric region of 80–120 km with excellent spatial resolution. This paper gives details of the Doppler section of the AMOR system. Analysis techniques are described that enable the use of very short-lived echoes, which when combined with the high sensitivity of the AMOR radar provides a large data set of wind measurements. Results for a 5 day period are presented at various heights indicating a vertically propagating semi-diurnal tide.
