Solar cycle and long-term trends in the observed peak of the meteor altitude distributions by meteor radars

The datasets here correspond to a paper by Dawkins et al., “Solar cycle and long-term trends in the observed peak of the meteor altitude distributions by meteor radars”, originally submitted in November 2022.

The following datasets are sufficient to produce Figure 2 and 3 in the main manuscript.

Figure 2:

Please use the 12 individual files with filenames,  “Dawkins_et_al_2022__meteor_peak_altitude__*_data.txt”. Here the asterisk should be replaced by one of the following station abbreviations: CAR, COL, CPa, DAV, KIR, KSS, ROT, SMa, SOD, SVA, TdF, and TRO.

Each file contains 5 columns: Column 1 is year (from 1999 to 2022), Column 2 is the time series of the annual peak altitude residuals (no units), Column 3 is the corresponding standard error, Column 4 is the multilinear model fit, and Column 5 is the normalized annual solar flux (F10.7) in arbitrary units.

Figure 3:

Please use “Dawkins_et_al_2022__meteor_peak_altitude_trends.txt”. For ease, a description of the different columns is included within this file.
