| Zusammenfassung |
We examine the oscillations of the meridional
neutral wind in the F region as seen by the EISCAT radar. We propose an
interpretation in term of eddies (tourbillons) of typical size of a few
tens to a few hundreds of kilometers. The observed rotation velocity is a few
hundreds of meters per second. We suggest that the tourbillons are a
common feature of thermospheric movements. We propose an optical experiment to
check the validity of this assumption.
