Scientific paper

This review is limited to consideration of ground-based radio and optical measurements on winds in the Antarctic mesosphere and thermosphere. Observations on the mean flow and the 12 and 24 h tides in the 70-110 km range are discussed in relation to models. Evidence for the effects of the magnetospheric electric field in the range 90-120 km is considered. Thermospheric wind data are compared with recent models, taking account of the direction of the interplanetary magnetic field. Some effects of gravity waves originating in the auroral electroject are considered.
