Scientific paper

The elliptical and circular phases of the Atmosphere Explorer-C satellite have provided the basis for a study of the neutral wave characteristics in the thermosphere using data collected by the open source mass spectrometer used to measure both reactive (O,N) and nonreactive (O2, N2, He, Ar) constituents. The phase relationships between the constituents are discussed and the results of a wave occurrence and amplitude survey covering 338 despun orbits in which the local time and latitude characteristics of the waves are presented are discussed. Conclusions based on this survey are tested in a study of waves measured at high latitudes during a geomagnetic storm.
