AB: The University of Colorado in collaboration with the Institute of Experimental Meteorology in Obninsk Russia have developed an inexpensive and robust meteor radar system. This system, named COBRA, has been replicated and deployed to stations around the globe. In this paper we will report on the first results from a COBRA meteor radar system that was installed in Barrow Alaska (71.3N,156.6W) during the summer of 2001. A description of the system operation in conjunction with initial results will be presented. Data from the COBRA system will be compared with the global scale wave model and other currently operating high latitude radar stations.
