- •
Vertical wind in the equatorial MLT from meteor radar.
- •
Testing method is proposed to evaluate the vertical wind confidence.
- •
Vertical wind in the equatorial MLT presents magnitudes of a few meters per second.
- •
Equatorial planetary waves induce time variability in the vertical wind of a few m/s.
- •
Momentum flux of 3–4 d wave is strong near autumn equinox reaching almost 20 m2/s2.
