“…Values of 27.5 km in the O 2 layer and of 29 km in the OH layer have been deduced from observations taken in February at 37 • N with a modulation of 15 h, and with extreme intensity variations of the O 2 atmospheric emission (Scheer and Reisin, 1998). In addition, vertical wavelengths from 12 to 76 km for waves of 3 to 9 h have been observed by Takahashi et al (1999). Our observations agree with their results.…”

Abstract. Airglow observations with a Spectral AirglowTemperature Imager (SATI), installed at the Sierra Nevada Observatory (37.06 • N, 3.38 • W) at 2900-m height, have been used to investigate the presence of tidal variations at mid-latitudes in the mesosphere/lower thermosphere region. Diurnal variations of the column emission rate and vertically averaged temperature of the O 2 Atmospheric (0-1) band and of the OH Meinel (6-2) band from 5 years (1998)(1999)(2000)(2001)(2002)(2003) of observations have been analysed. From these observations a clear tidal variation of both emission rates and rotational temperatures is inferred. It is found that the amplitude of the daily variation for both emission rates and temperatures is greater from late autumn to spring than during summer. The amplitude decreases by more than a factor of two during summer and early autumn with respect to the amplitude in the winter-spring months. Although the tidal modulations are preferentially semidiurnal in both rotational temperatures and emission rates during the whole year, during early spring the tidal modulations seem to be more consistent with a diurnal modulation in both rotational temperatures and emission rates. Moreover, the OH emission rate from late autumn to early winter has a pattern suggesting both diurnal and semidiurnal tidal modulations.

“…Secondly, high-frequency oscillations are removed by taking three-point running means. Since gravity waves are modulated by tidal waves (Preusse et al, 2008;Takahashi et al, 1999), the effects of tides are eliminated by constructing a harmonics for ter-diurnal and semi-diurnal tides. The harmonics (H ) used is expressed mathematically by…”

Abstract. Mesospheric airglow measurements of two or three layers were used to characterize both vertical and horizontal parameters of gravity waves. The data set was acquired coincidentally from a multi-channel filter (Multi-3) photometer and an all-sky imager located at São João do Cariri (7.4 • S, 36.5 • W) in the equatorial region from 2001 to 2007. Using a least-square fitting and wavelet analysis technique, the phase and amplitude of each observed wave were determined, as well as the amplitude growth. Using the dispersion relation of gravity waves, the vertical and horizontal wavelengths were estimated and compared to the horizontal wavelength obtained from the keogram analysis of the images observed by an all-sky imager. The results show that both horizontal and vertical wavelengths, obtained from the dispersion relation and keogram analysis, agree very well for the waves observed on the nights of 14 October and 18 December 2006. The determined parameters showed that the observed wave on the night of 18 December 2006 had a period of ∼ 43.8 ± 2.19 min, with the horizontal wavelength of 235.66 ± 11.78 km having a downward phase propagation, whereas that of 14 October 2006 propagated with a period of ∼ 36.00 ± 1.80 min with a horizontal wavelength of ∼ 195 ± 9.80 km, and with an upward phase propagation. The observation of a wave taken by a photometer and an allsky imager allowed us to conclude that the same wave could be observed by both instruments, permitting the investigation of the two-dimensional wave parameter.
