Scientific paper
In this paper we present both night and day thermospheric wind observations made with the Second-generation, Optimized, Fabry-Perot Doppler Imager (SOFDI), a novel triple-etalon Fabry-Perot interferometer (FPI) designed to make 24-hour measurements of thermospheric winds from OI 630-nm emission. These results were obtained from under the magnetic equator at Huancayo, Peru during the summer 2011 CORRER Campaigns. The thermospheric wind measurements from Huancayo replicate recently reported CHAMP zonal winds measurements during daytime periods; in disagreement with current empirical daytime wind climatologies. These differences are discussed in light of recent ESF formation theories.
