This proposal is a joint submission from Utah State                        University and the University of Alabama in Huntsville for the                  application of a new technique developed under previous NSF                     support to determine neutral meridional thermospheric winds from                ground based measurements of the height of the ionospheric F2                   layer.  The knowledge of the global wind system in the upper                    atmosphere is basic to understanding the transport of heat and                  minor chemical constituents from high latitudes to low and from                 dayside to nightside, and for predicting the propagation                        characteristics of the ionosphere for radio waves and microwave                 communication with spacecraft.  The combination of resources and                skills from the two institutions will lead to a particularly                    strong study.
