Scientific paper

The operation of a sky-scanning photometer at midlatitudes has revealed the presence of elongated irregularities in the 6300-A airglow, which can have a wavelike nature. Wavefronts are aligned near the magnetic meridian, and the motion is to the east with speeds of about 100 m/sec. One airglow event in which the ionosphere appeared to corrugate produced a period of moderate spread-F on a nearby ionosonde. It is not clear from comparison with radio experiments that the airglow disturbances are due to the passage in the ionosphere of gravity waves; some characteristics suggest the irregularities could be due to an instability of the ionospheric plasma.
