The MICADO instrument has been built to measure temperature and wind in the E- and F-regions. It employs a thermally stable field-compensated Michelson interferometer to allow wind measurements. During the winter of 1988-1989, the MICADO instrument was operated at Sodankyla, (Finland). Measurements were made by observing the O 1S (low thermosphere) and the O 1D (high thermosphere) emission. Two coordinated campaigns were organized with the EISCAT radar, which operated in special modes. Neutral wind and temperature are derived from EISCAT data. Results of the two instruments are shown. The differences between the two sets of results are discussed and show that most of the discrepancy is due to the presence of vertical winds during the observations where the magnetic activity was high.
