It is noted that only data obtained simultaneously at a common site should be employed to compare rotational temperatures derived from several OH airglow emission bands. Recent nonsimultaneous measurements of 10 OH bands originating from vibrational states with quantum numbers of 3 through 9 are discussed. Rotational temperatures are obtained by reducing the P1 branches of the (8-3), (7-2), and (6-1) bands of OH in a representative random sample of spectra taken on individual nights over a period of several years. The results show that the bands arising from vibrational states with quantum numbers of 6, 7, and 8 may all be described by a single rotational temperature on a given night. It is concluded that a systematic dependence of rotational temperature on vibrational quantum number is not a universal characteristic of OH airglow behavior, at least for vibrational quantum numbers of 6 through 8.
