Abstract
Ground-based observations of infrared OH* airglow emissions made during the
period February-October from 1999-2013 at Davis Station, Antarctica (68.6˚S,
78˚E) are analysed to construct a climatology of the horizontal characteristics
of short-period gravity waves (GWs) and ripples near the mesopause (~87 km
altitude). The main findings are as follows:
1. Two distinct distributions of horizontal wavelength were observed both
obeying the relation
