The semidiurnal tide for individual nights derived consistently from O 2 and OH intensities and temperatures
The semidiurnal tide is studied with 159 special cases from the large airglow database acquired at El Leoncito (31.8ºS, 69.3ºW). These cases correspond to nights which exhibit similar periods in the temperature and intensity variations of the OH(6-2) and O 2 b(0–1) emissions. We find that all the pe...
