Scientific paper

Vertical winds in the upper mesosphere/lower thermosphere are estimated from Doppler shifts of green-line airglow O (1S) emission using a ground based Michelson Interferometer stationed at Resolute Bay (74° N, 95° W). Measured vertical winds are compared to simultaneously measured horizontal winds and synoptic geomagnetic indices in an effort to better understand the vertical motions associated with competing high latitude phenomena; namely the downward motion caused by the polar vortex circulation and the upward motion associated with geomagnetic activity. Specifically, we present vertical winds associated with both geomagnetic quiet-time and active-time periods and discuss the dynamics associated with both situations.
