abstract = "Six mesospheric fronts were studied between 2007 and 2008 using
simultaneous data from an all-sky imager (images), meteor radar
(wind) and Na Lidar (temperature). The wave events were observed
in the following nights: 14-15 September 2007; 5 October 2007; 5
March 2008; 31 March 2008; 3 September 2008; 10 October 2007, over
Cachoeira Paulista (23oS, 45oW). Images of OH, O2 (0,1) and OI
557.7 nm airglow emissions were used to identify the waves. The
horizontal wind and temperature data were used to correctly
describe the atmospheric background conditions in the mesosphere
and lower thermosphere regions. The waves were classified as
mesospheric bore front (four events), and mesospheric wall front
(one event). This is the first simultaneous observation of a
mesospheric front in Brazil using the allsky imager, meteor radar,
and Na lidar instrument. The analysis using the square of vertical
wave-number profile revealed the duct regions and their primary
cause (Doppler or Thermal). The bore fronts observed were undular
and non-undular with dark fronts in some airglow emission layers
and bright fronts in others. Most of the observed wave fronts were
in agreement with the complementary effect predicted in the
literature.",
