The diurnal variation of neutral winds at F-layer heights over Millstone Hill (42.6 deg N, 71.5 deg W) for different seasons is determined from incoherent scatter radar measurements of the diurnal variation of the electron and ion temperatures, electron density and vertical plasma drift. Data for three summer and winter days in 1969 and 1970 are examined for seasonal characteristics during geomagnetic quiet time at solar maximum conditions. The derived diurnal variation of the neutral winds for summer months shows a later morning transition from equatorward to poleward winds and an earlier evening transition from poleward to equatorward winds than during winter months.
