Scientific paper

Meridional winds in the thermosphere determined from optical and ionosonde measurements have been compared using data from campaigns in winter (July 1994), equinox (March 1995) and summer (January 1996). The correlation coefficient for the entire data set is 0.76, a little lower than the value of 0.83 for the March 1995 data set, used in a previous study (Dyson et al., 1997). In all three data sets a Burnside factor of 1.7 has been used on the basis of the more detailed findings of the March study (Dyson et al., 1997) that showed the agreement between the winds worsened if a lower Burnside factor was used, but improved if the atomic oxygen density in the MSIS model was increased by about 20%
