The mesopause oxygen rotational temperature imager, MORTI, was operated at Bear Lake Observatory (41.9°N, 111.4°W) during the period November, 1991 to May, 1993. Fluctuations of long period in both emission rate and temperature of the O 2 Atmospheric (0–1) nightglow layer are evident that seem related to the diurnal and semidiurnal tides. The data show a dominant semidiurnal tidal mode in January, but a dominant diurnal component at the spring equinox. Other long‐period fluctuations also appear for which a linear tidal explanation does not seem applicable.
