Scientific paper

Zonal winds between altitudes of 25 and 120 km have been obtained from measurements of the Doppler shifts of lines of atmospheric gases in solar occultation spectra collected with the ATMOS spectrometer flown on Spacelab 3. Wind speeds of about 100 m/s near 100 km and 25 to 50 m/s between 25 and 70 km were observed at latitudes near 30 deg N and 50 deg S. The wind speeds were estimated to + or - 5 m/s and positions of the absorption lines relative to the rest frame of the instrument were simultaneously recovered to 5 x 10 to the -5th/cm.
