abstract = "The upper atmospheric airglow emissions, 0I 557.7 mn, NaD 589.3
nm, OH (9,4)and 02 atmospheric (0, 1)bands and their rotational
temperatures have been measured using ground-based multichannel
airglow photometers, one located near the equator at Fortaleza
(3.9 S, 3 8.4 W)and the other at low-middle latitude Cachoeira
Paulista (22.7 S, 45.0 W). Monthly averaged nocturnal variations
calculated from the data from 1987 to 1993 were used to study the
influence of atmospheric dynamical processes on these emissions.
Harmonic analysis revealed that the Cachoeira Paulista data are
mainly represented by a 12 hour period oscillation. Phase
differences between the different emissions reveal that the
vertical phase velocity is about 4 km/h and the vertical
wavelength about 50 kni- Fortaleza data on the other hand showed
longer period, 24 hours, slow vertical propagation velocity, 1. 1
km/h, and short vertical wavelength, about 30 km. These facts lead
us to conclude that the Cachoeira Paulista. data are mainly
controlled by the semidiumal tidal oscillation and the Fortaleza
data are controlled by the diurnal tide. Proceedings of the C0.1
