Scientific paper

Terrestrial nightglow emissions in the near infrared region have been monitored from several ground-based optical observatories in the northern high latitude; Eureka (80.0 N, 85.9 W), and Resolute Bay (74.68 N, 94.90 W), Canada. Spectral analysis of the derived rotational temperatures yields the periodicities of the atmospheric waves that are known to propagate upward from the lower atmosphere and perturb the airglow brightness and the rotational temperatures in the upper atmosphere. Spectral features at various periods are found and investigated in relation to atmospheric tides and planetary waves. The commonly observed features are waves near the tidal periods, i.e. 6, 8, and 12 hour oscillations. The data also show fluctuations at longer periods of 4-day and quasi-16 day waves. Harmonic analysis is also performed to seasonal data sets to identify the amplitudes and phase information of the major oscillations over season.
