An airglow all-sky imager was operated at Comandante Ferraz Antarctica Station (62.1° S, 58.4° W), between April and October of 2007. Mesospheric gravity waves were observed using the OH airglow layer during 43 nights with good weather conditions. The waves presented horizontal wavelengths between 1...
