| Summary: | Measurements are presented of the neutral wind field in the lower thermosphere over Mawson, Antarctica, made during the austral Spring of 1981. The Mawson Institute's Fabry-Perot spectrometer was used to study the OI lambda 588 nm emission in the night airglow and aurora. Wind velocities were inferred from Doppler shifts of this emission. |
