A statistical study was made to examine the seasonal and long-term variations of the night airglow emissions around the mesopause region and their relations with the upper atmospheric dynamics. The results show that at low and middle latitudes the seasonal variations of the airglow emissions consist of global fluctuations of 12-, 6- and 4-month periods. The presence of the quasi-biennial fluctuations in the emission intensities has been also shown, which may suggest that the quasi-biennial oscillations in the equatorial stratosphere leak or penetrate into the base of the thermosphere. A dynamical consideration of the seasonal variations in the 5577 A and Na emissions and their latitudinal dependence has offered some features of the global circulation systems in the upper atmosphere.
