abstract = "Nightglow images from an all-sky imager deployed at Sao Joao do
Cariri (7.4 °S, 36.5°W), from January to December 2005 were used
to study quasi-orthogonal gravity waves in the meinel OH and OI
5557 emissions. These gravity waves occurred simultaneously,
propagating with phase fronts almost perpendicular each other. In
this period, 135 nights were investigated and 9 such events were
observed for the year 2005 in the OH emission spectra. However,
only 2 events were analyzed in detail due to unavailability of
coincident data from the meteor radar wind as well as the
TIMED/SABER data for the majority of events. The goal of the
research was to estimate the horizontal wind by calculating the
parameters of these gravity waves (horizontal and vertical
wavelength, propagation direction and observed period) and using
Taylor-Goldenstein dispersion relation for gravity waves in order
to compute the intrinsic frequency of the waves. This was achieved
by computing the vertical wavelength of the waves using the phase
difference between emission layers. The estimated horizontal
background wind showed agreement with the data from the meteor
radar wind with actual readings from the meteor radar. Horizontal
background winds also filter gravity waves by permitting
propagation only in certain directions. Temperature readings will
also allow the investigation of atmospheric heating particularly
in the ionosphere as the gravity waves dissipate energy.",
