15 Why do we need to know upper atmosphere neutral wind tide? Tides are generated in the stratosphere and strongly affected by changes in that region such as: Gravity wave activities, Quasi-biennial oscillation (QBO) in the equatorial region Sudden stratosphere warming in the high latitudes Long term trends in tides may be linked with changes in the stratosphere. Tides also have a great impact on the equatorial ionosphere through dynamo effect.

43 Stratosphere Balloon Borne Fabry-Perot Interferometer Allow daytime observation of thermospheric winds due to low solar scatter background at high altitudes. Inexpensive compared to satellite instrument.
44 Summary Upper atmospheric winds contain strong global scale waves (e.g. tides). Tides are related to changes in the stratosphere and can affect the ionosphere. Upper atmospheric winds are the key to a better understanding of the ionosphere. There is a lack of observation upper atmospheric winds on a global scale. I see a great opportunity for future balloon and satellite missions.
