Spectral lines of the ΔV=2 rotation vibration bands of CO are well suited for study of photospheric motions and the mass ejection process in cool stars. We have obtained high spectral resolution (1.8 km/sec) and high signal-to-noise (>102) line profiles for a selection of K and M giants. These profiles are being studied for evidence of gas motions in the photosphere and near circumstellar regions.
