All-sky measurements of mesospheric gravity waves in the near infrared OH, O2(0,1) and the visible OI(557.7 nm) nightglow emissions have been made from Bear Lake Observatory, Utah (41.6 N, 111.6W) as part of a collaborative program with the NASA TIMED satellite. The image data were obtained over a 3-year period (2002-2004) have been used to investigate the occurrence and properties of undular mesospheric bore events which are usually characterized by a sharp leading front followed by a coherent short-period wave train that grows with time, but occasionally exhibit "soliton-like" structures. This poster describes the differing properties of over 20 bore wave events observed near simultaneously in the three nightglow emissions and their association with mesospheric temperature inversion layers as detected by the SABER instrument on TIMED.
