N2 - The TIMED Doppler Interferometer (TIDI) performs the measurement of upper atmospheric winds on the Thermosphere Ionosphere Mesosphere Energetics and Dynamics (TIMED) satellite. This is an optimized single etalon Fabry Perot interferometer that records the slight Doppler shift of individual emission features of the O2 (0,0) atmospheric band. The interferometer operates at a 100% duty cycle obtaining neutral wind altitude profiles on a global basis. The measurements are synoptic and provide an uninterrupted long-term climatological record of the dynamics in the mesosphere and lower thermosphere regions. The data products from TIDI include (1) apparent line of sight winds and integrated brightness, (2) inverted line of sight winds and volume emission rate, and (3) inverted horizontal neutral wind fields on an evenly spaced track angle/altitude grid. The data products demonstrate an interannual variability in the tidal structure of the mesosphere and the lower thermosphere and an inherent daily geophysical variance.
