The results of a treatment of regular radio meteor measurements during 1979-80 in the city of Obninsk for the purpose of determining the parameters of internal gravity waves (IGW) are presented. The frequency distribution of IGW is close to uniform, while the histograms of the phase velocities, amplitudes and wave numbers of IGW have pronounced maxima. In autumn and winter IGW propagating to the southeast predominate, while in the spring and summer IGW traveling northwestward predominate. The amplitudes of the IGW are maximum in winter and minimum in summer.
