Data from O(1S) emissions measured by the WIND Imaging Interferometer (WINDII) on the UARS spacecraft for two days in the January/February 1992 time period are used to analyse the behaviour of the oxygen green-line peak in the mesosphere. Correlations between the peak emission and height are observed for the night-time measurements but not for the day-time measurements. Extremes in the peak emission rate and height are compared to the temperature field at 98 km. It is found that when the emission rate is high, the height of the peak is low and the temperature is high and vice versa. This is suggestive of what might occur if the motions associated with these extrema were quasi-adiabiatic and the oxygen mixing ratio conserved.
