The profile of neutral winds in the high-latitude E-region was determined using measurements of ion velocity from EISCAT Common Programme Two (CP-2) and the method of Brekke et al. (1974), and the results were compared with earlier results, including those obtained using CP-1, using incoherent-scatter radar at Chatanika, and theoretically predicted by Forbes (1982). In contrast to the CP-1, which only determined values at four separate heights, the CP-2 provided a complete profile of neutral wind velocity. An extremely good agreement was obtained between all three sets of experimental data, except for the meridional component above 115 km, where the Chatanika data indicated a northward wind, while EISCAT data showed a southward wind increasing with height.
