Horizontal motion of the neutral atmosphere at heights above about 200 km is investigated. The driving force is postulated to be that arising from the pressure gradients associated with the diurnal bulge of atmospheric density. The coupling between the neutral and the ionized air, together with the effect of the geomagnetic field, is considered and is shown to be important. The effects produced by viscosity are considered and are included in a tentative manner. Numerical calculations are made for latitude 45° using ionospheric data and Jacchia's model atmosphere. Wind speeds of 100 msec-1 are found to be typical at the height of the F2-layer peak. The dependence of the magnitude and direction of this wind upon local time, season and solar cycle is established.
