AB: Using combined TIDI and ground based observations we study waves in the mesospheric and lower thermospheric neutral winds. We compare the neutral wind observations from spaceborne and ground-based measurements. We experiment with combine the neutral wind results from the two data sets. We hope the global coverage of the TIDI data and the extended local time coverage provided by the ground based observations will help to provide more insight of the MLT dynamics and energetics. Comparisons with model output are also planned.
