We present the first kinematic study of extraplanar diffuse ionized gas (eDIG) in the nearby, face-on disk galaxy M83 using optical emission-line spectroscopy from the Robert Stobie Spectrograph on the Southern African Large Telescope. We use a Markov Chain Monte Carlo method to decompose the [NII]λλ6548, 6583, Hα, and [SII]λλ6717, 6731 emission lines into HII region and diffuse ionized gas emission. Extraplanar, diffuse gas is distinguished by its emission-line ratios ([NII]λ6583/Hα ∼ > 1.0) and its rotational velocity lag with respect to the disk (∆v = −24 km s −1 in projection). With interesting implications for isotropy, the velocity dispersion of the diffuse gas, σ = 96 km s −1 , is a factor of a few higher in M83 than in the Milky Way and nearby, edge-on disk galaxies. The turbulent pressure gradient is sufficient to support the eDIG layer in dynamical equilibrium at an electron scale height of h z = 1 kpc. However, this dynamical equilibrium model must be finely tuned to reproduce the rotational velocity lag. There is evidence of local bulk flows near star-forming regions in the disk, suggesting that the dynamical state of the gas may be intermediate between a dynamical equilibrium and a galactic fountain flow. As one of the first efforts to study eDIG kinematics in a face-on galaxy, this study demonstrates the feasibility of characterizing the radial distribution, bulk velocities, and vertical velocity dispersions in low-inclination systems.
