Scientific paper

Fabry-Perot interferometer measurements of the nightglow 630.0 nm line have been made at Beveridge (37 deg 28-min S, 145 deg 6-min E) from December 1980 to September 1981. Thermospheric temperatures have been derived from these measurements and compared to the MSIS model. Good agreement is found except during summer when the experimental temperatures are consistently higher (about 100 K) than the model values. The experimental values are well described by a function similar to that used by Hernandez (1982b) to describe seven years of data obtained at Fritz Peak which is at a similar mid-latitude to Beveridge. The fit to the Beveridge data indicates larger seasonal and magnetic variations in the temperature than given by the MSIS model.
