Scientific paper

Continuous space borne observations of the mesosphere and lower thermosphere wind field have now been made for more than 14 years. Wind measurements commenced in late 1991 with two wind sensing instrument on the UARS spacecraft (HRDI and WINDII) and continue to the present with the TIDI instrument on TIMED. The HRDI and WINDII instruments operated simultaneously during much of the operational life of UARS and have been extensively validated. Both TIDI and HRDI obtained measurements from 2002 to 2005 providing a very desirable three year overlap to cross calibrate the instruments. The length of this combined data set permits study of the inter-annual variability of this part of the atmosphere. This paper discusses some of longer term phenomena that have been studied.
