Scientific paper

The thin-layer single-level theory of Walterscheid et al. (1987) for the interpretation of fluctuations in the intensity and rotational temperature of OH nightglow was extended to the case where the emitting region is a thick layer of arbitrary depth. The generalized theory was then applied to a representative atmospheric model, and the dependences of vertically integrated OH intensity and intensity-weighted temperature fluctuations on the wave period and the horizontal wavelength were explored. Values of the emission region thickness versus period are reported for several horizontal wavelengths.
