                         determinations including rocket, lidar and OH instruments. The 
                         comparison is used both for validations purposes and to refine the 
                         temperature gradiente model that is required in order to achieve 
                         optimum performance from the meteor system. Sites involved include 
                         Resolute Bay (Canada), Esrange (Sweden), Andoya (Norway), 
                         Juliusruh (Germany), London (Canada) and Cachoeira Paulista, near 
                         S{\~a}o Paulo (Brazil). Specific points of note are discussed, 
                         both in regard to areas of good and of poorer agreement. Finally, 
                         a map is produced demonstrating the accuracy of meteor 
                         measurements of temperature as a function of latitude and month of 
                         the year. It is concluded that over most of the globe the meteor 
                         method produces 2-day mean temperatures with accuracies of +/- 10 
                         K or better, but in some seasons and at some latitudes the errors 
                         are a little larger. The ability of meteor radars to take 
                         measurements during 24 h of the day, and 365 days of the year, is 
                         emphasized.",
