Abstract
Gravity waves and tides are important drivers of the dynamics of mesosphere-lower thermosphere system MLT region OI 557 7 nm airglow emission originating from MLT region strongly carry signature of these processes The nighttime measurements of OI 557 7 nm emission have been carried out at Kolhapur 16 8 r N 74 2 r E India since November 2003 using an all sky scanning photometer Small as well as long period hours to days wave-like variations are observed in intensity variations of OI emission Preliminary results of investigation of wave signatures for the periods ranging from 0 5 - 8 hours have been presented
