Abstract

The technique for measuring atmospheric winds from the Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite (UARS) is discussed. Stress is placed on the use of absorption features in the spectrum of scattered sunlight to measure the motion of the atmosphere by doppler techniques. Instrumental detail will be presented for the High Resolution Doppler Imager (HRDI) which will be used to make the observations of winds from the UARS.
