Scientific paper

Observations of the thermospheric wind at mid-latitude have been carried out using a Febry-Perot interferometer to measure the Doppler shift of the night-time OI emission at a wavelength of 630 nm. Results are presented for 12 different summer nights which show that the zonal wind has a distinct feature associated with magnetic activity. The influence of magnetic activity on the maximum strength, and duration of both the eastward and westward versions of the thermospheric wind, is discussed.
