Abstract Experiments where the F-region meridional neutral winds derived from EISCAT radar data were compared to Fabry-Perot interferometer measurements show poor agreement generally. This seems to be at odds with conclusions previously drawn from work at mid- to low-latitudes, and more work needs be done on the disparities: it may be that meridional winds can not be derived as reliably at high latitude as at low, especially where plasma flows are non-uniform. A number of reasons for this are considered.
