Scientific paper

The incoherent scatter radar observations on ionization drifts at St. Santin (France) have been analyzed to yield the meridional neutral winds in the lower thermosphere during a magnetically disturbed period. The results suggest that a meridional circulation cell is established in the lower thermosphere following the onset of a magnetic disturbance. For the event studied, the excess meridional wind generated during the disturbed period is found to be poleward at 100 km and equatorward above 120 km altitude.
