                         thermosphere (MLT) in the equatorial and low latitude regions have 
                         been investigated by airglow imaging technique from the south 
                         American sector at Cariri (7 S, 36 W). The wave characteristics, 
                         direction of propagation and frequency of occurrence, were 
                         analyzed in order to understand the wave generation and 
                         propagation schemes. Temperature variability in the stratosphere 
                         observed by CHAMP satellite GPS radio-occultation measurement was 
                         also used to find out a region of high gravity wave activity in 
                         the upper troposphere to stratosphere. It was found that at Cariri 
                         a major part of the observed waves (75 %) has characteristics of 
                         ducting and/or evanescent forms. Only 25 % of them showed the 
                         vertical propagation form from troposphere to mesosphere, and most 
                         of them came from an area of 250 km from the observation site. 
                         These results will be compared with the data from the western 
                         pacific region and presented.",
