Scientific paper

The possibility of using incoherent scatter radar measurements to calculate the meridional neutral wind velocity at Arecibo, Puerto Rico, has been demonstrated by Behnke and Harper (1973) and Behnke and Kohl (1974). The present study extends this earlier work, whose calculations were restricted to the height of the F layer peak. The study is restricted to the nighttime and covers the region from 250 to 480 km. Sufficient data have been obtained to demonstrate clearly seasonal variations in the meridional neutral wind velocity. Attention is given to incoherent scatter measurements, neutral wind measurements, the diffusion calculation, a diffusion velocity comparison, and vertical profiles of the meridional wind.
