Two instruments sensitive to nocturnal airglow emissions were flown aboard the NCAR Electra aircraft during the 1990 ALOHA campaign- a Fourier transform spectrometer and a 1/4 meter grating spectrometer. The two instruments were chosen to provide complementary data in the near infrared spectral region, the former between 6000 and 10 000 cm-1 and the latter between ~11 300 and ~11 600 cm-1. Coordinated measurements were acquired by both instruments of several ro-vibrational transitions within the ground state of the Meinel band of hydroxyl and one electronic transition of the O2 At system. Rotational temperatures were deduced from both species, including several transitions within the Meinel system. It is usually assumed that the mean height of the O2 At layer is several kilometers above the mean height of the OH layer, implying a means of determining a neutral temperature height profile, albeit coarsely. Data from two flights show an interesting behavior: temperatures inferred from OH and O2 At emissions from the March 31, 1990, mission are equal, T(OH) ~ T(O2), within error bars during the start of the west-to-east flight while T(OH)>T(O2) during the latter part of the flight. For the March 22, 1990 mission, the dependences are reversed with T(OH)>T(O2) during the first part of the south-to-north flight, and temperatures similar at the end. A comparison with a standard temperature profile model for April at various latitudes indicates that the best fit is for an altitudinal temperature profile for 30 N latitude. A lower T(O2) indicates a high mesopause existed during the ALOHA experiment. ¿American Geophysical Union 1991
