Description
The purpose of this workshop is to discuss all aspects of neutral winds in the upper atmosphere. The neutral winds are a great mystery. Their basic structure is generally understood, but such details as the magnitude of flows and their dynamical behavior during even mildly disturbed time periods are not well described at all.
Measurements of the neutral winds are sparse, and yet knowledge of the wind is often necessary to understand the detailed mechanisms that produce observed behaviors in the neutral and ionized components. We will review existing measurement techniques, and available data sets, both ground-based and space-based. We will discuss the spatial and temporal distribution of existing data. We will review modeling capabilities. Finally, the workshop will identify a way forward in developing a better scientific understanding of the winds, and how the community might obtain more measurements.
Presentations on scientific questions, instruments, datasets, and models, are welcomed.
