Abstract We present the results of observation of acoustic gravity waves in the height range 60–120 km. AGW were studied by means of plasma velocity measurements. The observations, based upon use of a newly-developed diagnostic technique, were carried out during September 1990–May 1991. The method uses the artificial periodic inhomogeneities (API) which occur in the ionosphere illuminated by high- power HF radio waves. This method, based upon measurements of phases of waves back scattered from API, has a time resolution sufficient to observe short-term variations in the atmosphere. Seasonal variations of daily averaged vertical velocities were obtained. Above the turbopause height upward vertical motions dominated. Wave-like oscillations in the vertical velocity, which are most probably caused by AGW, occurred.
