Scientific paper

An all-sky-mapping filter photometer has been used to study equatorial 630.0 nm nightglow intensity depletions. A generally eastward drift of the N-S aligned depletions was observed, with velocities ranging from about 240 m/sec to approximately 0 m/sec. At times two airglow depletions moving at different velocities were observed simultaneously; in one case they merged. Simultaneous interferometric determinations of Doppler shifts in the 630.0 nm line indicated that the velocity of the neutral atmosphere does not appear to be correlated with the drift of the airglow depletions. The results are compared with other observations.
