TL;DR: In this paper, the Horizontal Wind Model (HWM) has been updated in the thermosphere with new observations and formulation changes, including ground-based 630 nm Fabry-Perot Interferometer (FPI) measurements in the equatorial and polar regions, as well as cross track winds from the Gravity Field and Steady State Ocean Circulation Explorer (GOCE) satellite.

TL;DR: In this article, a new all-sky imaging, wavelength scanning Fabry-Perot spectrometer was used to record high-resolution (R ≃ 200,000) spectra of the λ630 nm thermospheric optical emission above Poker Flat, Alaska.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present simultaneous measurements of thermospheric winds, auroral emissions, and ionospheric currents over Alaska, obtained from four separate instruments, including an all-sky imaging Fabry-Perot spectrometer located at Poker Flat and observing at λ630.0 nm.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate the ability of the Global Ionosphere-Thermosphere Model (GITM) to simulate the mesoscale wind structure over Alaska during a substorm.

TL;DR: A new all-sky imaging spectrometer using a separation scanned Fabry-Perot étalon is described, intended for ground-based mapping of upper atmospheric wind and temperature fields in the auroral zone with a major advantage is that recorded spectra are not distorted by spatial and temporal brightness fluctuations in the Aurora Borealis.
