Since 1987, ground-based instruments capable of determining winds and temperatures from lower thermospheric heights have participated in numerous coordinated simultaneous measurement campaigns. These Lower Thermospheric Coupling Study (LTCS) campaigns are characterized by a core measurement interval of at least four days, during which incoherent scatter radars are committed to continuous measurements from lower thermospheric heights. These four day core intervals are centered in larger, month long observation intervals during which other instruments, such as MLT and meteor radars, acquire continuous measurements. In this presentation, we bring together climatological results from four incoherent scatter radars - Arecibo, EISCAT, Millstone Hill, and Sondrestrom, to form a regional seasonal climatology of lower thermospheric mean winds, as well as diurnal and semidiurnal wind oscillations. These climatological results are compared to results obtained from the TIMEGCM and GSWM models.
