A scientific flight over Fort Collins CO (40.6°N,105°W) was conducted on the night of April 15–16, 1990, during the ALOHA‐90 campaign. In this Colorado mission, a direct comparison between measured mesospheric O 2 and OH rotational temperatures with the airglow instruments on board the Electra and simultaneously measured Na temperatures by a ground‐based narrowband Na lidar has been made. This first comparison resulted in general agreement in measured temperatures between different instruments.
