Scientific paper

In this paper we present initial results from two sounding rockets designed to study the coupling bewteen neutral winds and electric fields in the equatorial ionosphere. The combined instrumented and chemical release payloads were launched from Kwajalein in September 2004. The rockets carried instruments measuring electric fields, plasma densities, neutral densities, and was accompanied by a TMA release to profile neutral winds. Ground based airglow imagers and were used to determine mesospheric conditions; specifically, the presence of gravity waves. The goal of the experiment was to investigate correlations between the gravity wave wind structure and local electric fields. This coupling is expected to be appreciable at the equator, where the magnetic field is nearly horizontal. Here we present initial results and discuss plans for data analysis.
