Thermospheric zonal temperature gradients observed at low latitudes

Fabry-Perot interferometer (FPI) measurements of thermospheric temperatures from the Doppler widths of the OI 630 nm nightglow emission line have been carried out at Cachoeira Paulista (23° S, 45° W, 16° S dip latitude), Brazil. The east-west components of the thermospheric temperatures obta...
