Abstract

Geocoronal hydrogen Balmer-Alpha Doppler widths and effective temperatures retrieved from high spectral resolution line profile observations are presented. These observations were made between 08 January 2000 and 21 November 2001 from Pine Bluff Observatory (WI) with a double etalon Fabry-Perot spectrometer operating at a resolving power of 80,000. This rich data set spans sixty-four nights of observations (1404 spectra in total) over 20 dark-moon periods. Observed trends in the line profile, including seasonal variations in the retrieved (neutral) exobase temperatures, will be discussed.
