abstract = "The upper mesospheric airglow emissions, OI 557.7 nm, NaD 589.3
nm, OH (6,2)and O2 atmospheric (0,1)band have been measured using
a ground-based multichannel airglow photometer in the equatorial
region, S{\~a}o Jo{\~a}o do Cariri (7°S, 37°W), Brazil. Good
weather condition made it possible to study nocturnal and day to
day variation of the emission rates continuously for more than 12
days per month from January to December 1998. It is found that
there are distinct 2- and 3.5-day period oscillations in the
emission rates, those are most probably due to Rossby-gravity wave
and Kelvin wave, respectively. The amplitudes of oscillation of
the Kelvin wave are large in June and July, being 40 for OI5577,
23 for O_2b (0,1) and 26 for OH(6,2).",
