The paper presents a comparison of neutral wind measurements made by rockets with ionospheric drift observations made by the partial reflection drift method. The drift experiment was located at the Woomera rocket range (31 deg S, 136 deg E), the site being chosen to provide as good a spatial overlap as possible with wind determinations by various rocket techniques. This overlap has made possible a study of the validity of identifying ionospheric drifts with neutral wind motions at corresponding heights. The experimental arrangement is described, and the results of detailed comparisons with wind measurements, made in the 60-90 km height region, are discussed. Good agreement was found between simultaneous drift and wind observations, and the partial reflection method appears to be capable of measuring neutral mesosphere wind velocities with a good height and time resolution.
