Description

This Level 3 data set of wind vectors from the Thermosphere Ionosphere Mesosphere Energetics and Dynamics (TIMED) Doppler Interferometer (TIDI) contains zonal and meridional components of the neutral wind measured at 60-180 km that are mapped onto fixed angle-along-the-track grids. Vertical resolution is ~2 km at the lower altitudes and 25 km at the thermosphere, with an accuracy that approaches ~3 m/sec. Each profile is annotated with ancillary data including profile position and processing status.
