Abstract
Ground-based observations of Doppler line profiles from the F-Region O +(2P) state, made with the Fabry-Perot interferometer (FPI) at Sondre Stromfjord, Greenland have been analyzed to provide measurements of th e ion convection velocity and ion temperature. The FPI line-of-sight ( LOS) ion drift and temperature measurements have been compared with si multaneous incoherent scatter radar (ISR) measurements: the results fr om the two techniques are in good agreement.
