Scientific paper

The average rotation rate of the upper atmosphere can be found by analysis of the changes in the orbital inclinations of satellites, and results previously obtained have indicated that the atmospheric rotation rate appreciably exceeds the earth's rotation rate at heights between 200 and 400 km. All such results previously published are examined in the light of current standards of accuracy: some are accepted, some revised, and some rejected as inadequate in accuracy. A number of fresh orbits are also analyzed and, adding these to the accepted and revised previous results, the variation of zonal wind speed with height and local time is derived.
