A large data-set of line-of-sight Doppler velocity obtained with the Antarctic Syowa East HF radar from February to December 1997 is analyzed to discuss the statl:,t1cal charactenst1cs of Doppler velocity (VD) at ranges of 180-1200 km and their implications. Syowa Station K-indices dunng the observation period were between O and 7 with a maximum occurrence at K = 1. On average V0 ha:, a m1111mum of about 100 m/s at 180-225 km ranges. With mcreasing range 1t increases monotoni cally to attain a maximum of 300-350 m/s at 400-500 km, decreases gradually to reach 250-300 m/s at about 700 km, and agam increases slowly at farther ranges. These values of VD and the range vary depending on both local time and radar beam direction. In the hght of recent knowledge of plasma 111stab1ht1es m the 10nosphere we :.ugge:.t that such range profile of VD 1s mainly cau:.ed by the combmed effect:. of altitude dependent phase velocities of ionospheric plasma waves, HF wave refraction due to enhanced E region electron density, and latitude-dependent electnc field. We mfer that the low ViJ (IOOm/s) at ranges of 180-225 km may onginate in part from neutral winds and/or turbulence of the neutral atmosphere.
