Using version 1.0 of TIMED/SABER nighttime O(3P) density data in the mesosphere and lower thermosphere (MLT) retrieved from 2.0 and 1.6 μm radiances, we conducted a study on the semiannual oscillation (SAO), annual oscillation (AO) and quasi-biennial oscillation (QBO) of the atomic oxygen volume mixing ratio at 96 km, from 40° S to 40° N, for 2002–2019. We first analyzed the altitude profiles of the atomic oxygen volume mixing ratio and kinetic temperature, and chose to study the daily average of the atomic oxygen volume mixing ratio at 96 km. For the analysis of SAO and AO, we fitted two sinusoidal functions with periods of 6 and 12 months to the daily mean atomic oxygen volume mixing ratio to obtain the annual and semiannual amplitude. The SAO amplitudes had two peaks of 1.68 × 10−3 and 1.63 × 10-3 at about 25° S and 25° N, and displayed a clear hemispheric symmetry. The AO amplitude increased with the latitude and showed distinct minima (valleys) of 3.36 × 10−4 around the equator, as well as a clear hemispheric asymmetry. The correlation coefficient between the atomic oxygen volume mixing ratio QBO with equatorial stratospheric QBO was higher in the tropics than the mid latitudes.
