The brightness spectrum of light scattered by the earth's atmosphere in the vicinity of molecular rotational lines is investigated. These absorption features are shown to be Doppler shifted by horizontal atmospheric winds. It is demonstrated that a modest aperture multiple etalon Febry-Perot interferometer can be used to monitor the global wind system from space by observing these Doppler shifts.
