This paper compares ground-based and space-based perspectives of wave perturbation of the O2 Atmospheric (0-1) mesospheric airglow using a theoretical model. A wide range of gravity wave periods, tangent ray heights, and horizontal wavelengths of 200, 500, and 1000km are compared for the space- and ground-based viewing geometries. The two different viewing geometries produce similar results for long-period waves for tangent ray heights that lie well below the emission layer peak. The magnitudes of the relative temperature and intensity fluctuations for space-based observations behave similarly to those for ground-based observations. This work shows that observation of wave-induced nightglow fluctuations should be no more difficult from space than from the ground for optimum viewing geometries.
