Abstract

As part of a collaborative measurements program between British Antarctic Survey and Utah State University, we present an intra-annual study of short-period, mesospheric gravity wave events observed over Antarctica in the near infrared OH emission. The measurements were made using an all-sky CCD airglow imager operated at Rothera Station (68°S, 68°W), situated on the Antarctic Peninsular. A total of five austral winter seasons have been analyzed during the period of 2002-2009 enabling a novel investigation of mesospheric variability in wave occurrence and properties.
