Observations are reported from a CCD nightglow camera deployed on Maui during ALOHA‐90. These data show that there were periods of both strong and weak gravity wave activity, that background winds in the direction of wave propogation can be derived using airglow data alone, and that there may be a connection between sporadic Na and large‐scale wave activity. These data are in fair to good agreement with models of wave induced airglow fluctuations.
