The J = 2 → 1 and J = 4 → 3 transitions were observed by the Antarctic Sub-millimeter Telescope / Remote Observatory (AST/RO), located at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole station. Mesospheric wind speeds were calculated from the Doppler shifts in emission spectra, as determined by least-squares fitting 2005 English text Oberlin College Honors Theses / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=oberlin1119041096 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=oberlin1119041096 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
