Evidence for orographic wave heating in the equatorial thermosphere at solar maximum

Fabry Perot interferometer observations of equatorial 630 nm airglow thermospheric winds and temperatures were made at Arequipa, Peru (16.5 S, 71.5 W) during the solar maximum years of 1989 and 1990. Examination of the thermospheric winds measured from Doppler shifts of the 630 nm airglow emission i...
