Scientific paper

The Arecibo Observatory directly measures the ion velocity vector, the electron and ion temperatures, and the electron density over the 100-500 km region of the ionosphere. In addition, the ion neutral collision frequency can be inferred below 120 km. From these measurements, the southward component of the neutral wind, and the eastward component below 130 km can be inferred. The height resolution is 2.3 km below 200 km, and 35 km above, while the time resolution is about 1 and 1/2 hours for velocities and 30 min for temperatures. Results for the initial observing period in August 1974 are presented.
