found: Australian Antarctic Division - Hydroxyl airglow, via WWW, Oct. 16, 2007(Hydroxyl airglow -- The concentration of a chemical constituent called hydroxyl (whose chemical symbol is OH) is much greater in a thin layer approximately 87 km above the earth's surface. Known as the hydroxyl airglow layer, it allows us to measure the temperature in this remote part of the middle atmosphere. This is made possible by the faint infra-red emissions that emanate from this layer during the hours of darkness (airglow) and our ability to decode information stored in these emissions)
