                         carried out from Calgary (51°N, 114°W). Canada. from 1988 to 1990. 
                         The measurements have been taken in orthogonal scanning mode and 
                         the data set has been analyzed to study salient features of 
                         gravity waves in the mesospheric region from this mid-latitude 
                         station. Rotational temperature data from 36 nights showed 
                         distinct gravity wave activity during this period. The gravity 
                         wave characteristics studied include the dominant period, 
                         horizontal structure speed, implied horizontal wavelength and 
                         horizontal component of direction of propagation. The preferred 
                         direction in the horizontal wave propagation at Calgary is towards 
                         the northwest. A comparison of the observed horizontal propagation 
                         directions with the permitted directions, using model wind 
                         profiles for Calgary, shows good agreement. This indicates that 
                         the upward flow of wave energy could be modified by the background 
                         wind.",
