A field campaign under Project MAPSTAR was conducted in Colorado during May-July 1988. As part of this effort ground based measurements of OH airglow rotational temperatures at 85 km were made by means of an infrared Fourier spectrometer. These measurements employed a least squares spectral fitting technique involving the 3-1 Meinel band. These data and their estimated PSD's will be presented. The latter will be interpreted by means of the relations between gravity wave temperature fluctuations and vertical displacement fluctuations given by Makhlouf et al. (1990). The results will be compared with the predictions of the gravity wave model of Dewan (1990, 1991) and shown to be in reasonable agreement thus lending further support to the local wave-cascade hypothesis.
