Abstract Meteor radars provide measurements of the upper mesosphere-lower thermosphere neutral wind field by using the reflection of electromagnetic waves from meteor trails. These radars are relatively inexpensive and provide an excellent means of monitoring the mean winds and tides in the 80–100 km region. Recently new techniques have been developed to detect meteor echoes from other ground-based radar systems operating in the HF/VHF frequency range. The meteor echo information augments the data that is routinely collected by these radars. In this paper I will review the meteor radar technique and emphasize new methods of detection of meteor echoes on Mesosphere-Stratosphere-Troposphere (ST/MST) radars and on the Imaging Doppler Interferometer (IDI) radar.
