Evidence is presented of planetary wave influence on intensity variations of the 557.7 nm airglow emission. Simultaneous measurements are made at four stations located between 37 deg N and 56 deg N, 36 deg E and 3 deg W. Meteor wind observations are made in France and the USSR, and optical measurements are made in France and Spain. Emphasis is on an oscillation with a period of two days and an amplitude of 10 m/s in the zonal directions, and intensity fluctuations of the green line indicate an oscillation with a period of 4 plus or minus 1 hr. The experimental phase shift between wind and emission is half a period, and is an evanescent or very large wavelength with a period of 52 plus or minus 4 hr and a zonal wave number of plus 3. Emission variations from the zonal wind component are estimated, and best agreement is reached with the first symmetric mode with a phase lag of 25 hr.
