Ground-based observations of Doppler line profiles from the F-Region O[sup +]([sup 2]P) state, made with the Fabry-Perot interferometer (FPI) at Sondre Stromfjord, Greenland have been analyzed to provide measurements of the ion convection velocity and ion temperature. The FPI line-of-sight (LOS) ion drift and temperature measurements have been compared with simultaneous incoherent scatter radar (ISR) measurements: the results from the two techniques are in good agreement.
