Summary
Abstract: The Wind Imaging Interferometer (WINDII) on NASA's Upper Atmosphere
Research Satellite (UARS) measures wind, temperature, and emission
rates in the mesosphere and thermosphere (80 to 300 km), by observing
the Doppler shift of visible airglow emissions.

The WINDII instrument is an all-glass field-widened achromatically and
