Short summary
Comparisons of wind measurements using two different techniques (ground-based radar and satellite) in Brazil during 2006 were made in order to point out the advantages of each instrument for studies in the mesosphere and upper thermosphere. (i) For short-period variations, the measurements of the satellite were more advantageous. (ii) The monthly climatology using the radar was more appropriate. (iii) For long periods (longer than a few months), both instruments responded satisfactorily.
