Scientific paper

High-quality optical data obtained using a high-resolution Fabry-Perot interferometer were used to determine the thermospheric neutral temperatures and meridional wind velocities at Albany, New York during the 1978-1982 period. Good agreement is found between the observed temperature variations and estimations obtained using the MSIS-83 (Hedin, 1983) and MSIS-86 (Hedin, 1987) thermospheric models for geomagnetically active periods. Meridional wind velocities are shown to be generally equatorward, to increase from about 125 m/s shortly after sunset to a maximum value of about 200 m/s before local midnight, to decrease to less than about 100 m/s toward the early morning hours, and to becoming poleward by morning twilight.
