John Noto, Chief Scientist and Jeff Steward, Director of Scientific Research  The thermosphere, a region of Earth’s upper atmosphere, is constantly in motion, driven by complex processes such as solar forcing, tides, plasma convection and Joule heating. Neutral winds in the thermosphere, which are crucial for understanding atmospheric dynamics, have historically been measured by ground-based instruments like Fabry-Perot interferometers. These tools, in use since 1966, rely on
