Data obtained from the Millstone Hill incoherent scatter radar (42.6N, 71.5W) during the interval 1987 through 2000 have been analyzed to obtain a climatology of neutral temperature in the lower thermosphere. The database used in this study covers over 180 days including the CEDAR Lower Thermosphere Coupling Study (LTCS) campaigns, and spans the altitude range from 105 to 130 km. Data are binned according to season, solar activity and local time, and periods of high geomagnetic disturbances are excluded from the analysis. We concentrate on temperature variability on day-to-day and seasonal scales and discuss possible sources of this variability. A comparison with the neutral temperature given by the MSIS model is also presented, and potential sources of discrepancy between the data and the model are discussed.
