An imaging Doppler interferometer (IDI) at Halley, Antarctica (76°S, 26°W) has been used to record near continuous mean winds in the mesosphere/lower thermosphere since December 1996. Monthly mean winds are calculated between 75 and 105 km for comparison with the HWM93 model winds. Below 95 km the z...
