摘 要:In this paper,the 6.5-day planetary waves over Wuhan(30.5°N,114.3°E) were investigated on the basis of the meteor radar measurements within 78-98 km height region during February 2002-December *** observations show that 6.5-day waves have a prominent seasonal variability and have larger amplitudes at equinoxes than at *** also found that intensive waves occur mostly between 84 and 98 km,and the zonal components of 6.5-day waves are a little larger than its meridional components on *** main periods of 6.5-day waves are near 6-7 days in spring/winter season and 5-7 days(even extend to 8 days) in autumn ***,these waves exhibit a downward progression when the amplitude is *** wave events occur basically in eastward background *** the 4-year interval, the strongest waves were found in Apri--May of 2003 and 2004.
