Spectra of the hydroxyl emissions in the wavelength range 1.0-1.6 μm, which originate at mesopause altitudes, have been obtained, using a Fourier transform spectrometer at Maynooth (53.2°N, 6.4°W), on all suitable nights during the period January - December 1993. Rotational temperatures and integrated band brightnesses have been calculated from the spectra of the OH (3,1) and (4,2) vibration-rotation bands. The mean annual temperatures calculated over all measurements were T(3,1) = 200±19 K and T(4,2) = 206±19 K, where the uncertainty represents the standard deviation on the measurements. The results are compared with data recorded by the SME satellite, and with the predictions of the MSISE-90 model for a station at 53° latitude.
