Abstract
BY analysing the changes in the orbital inclination i of a suitable satellite, it is possible to determine zonal (west-to-east) winds in the Earth's atmosphere at heights near that of the satellite's perigee. These values of wind speed are usually averaged over latitudes between 0 and about 0.5i; often the values are also averaged in local time, although some recent results range over only a few hours in local time.
