                         100 km and temperatures around 90 km are derived from all-sky 
                         meteor radar observations at latitudes between 9°N and 22°S and 
                         longitudes between 77°E and 315°E. The data are acquired with 
                         identical radar systems and detection software. The six SKiYMET 
                         radars are located at Trivandrum (9°N, 77°E), Kototabang (0.2°S, 
                         100°E), Cariri (7°S, 323°E), Learmonth (22°S, 114°E), Rarotonga 
                         (21°S, 200°E), and Cachoeira Paulista (22°S, 315°E). Wind tides 
                         are determined for the year 2005 using 4-d, 10-d, and 60-d 
                         composite days. The results provide information about the 
                         variability of the diurnal, semi-diurnal, and ter-diurnal tide at 
                         low latitudes. The seasonal variability of mean winds, 
                         temperatures, and tides is discussed. For the latitude 22°S the 
                         seasonal variation of the migrating tides is estimated using the 
                         observations at three sites which are well separated in longitude. 
                         The radar results obtained from 60-d composite days agree well 
                         with diurnal tides derived from TIDI observations on the TIMED 
                         satellite. The tidal signatures derived during the first 
                         measurement campaign of the CAWSES Global Tidal Study in 
                         September/October 2005 at low latitudes are discussed in relation 
                         with observations at middle and high northern latitudes.",
