abstract = "The upper atmospheric airglow emissions, OI 557.7 nm, NaD 589.3
nm, OH (9,4) and O2 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, 38.4 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 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 km.
Fortaleza data on the other f. showed longer period, 24 hours,
slow vertical propagation velocity, 1.1 km/h, and short veil
wavelength, about 30 km. These facts lead us to conclude that the
Cachoeira Paulista data are mainly controlled by the semidiurnal
tidal oscillation and the Fortaleza data are controlled by the
diurnal tide.",
