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)

Progress in atmospheric physics, 1988:p. 78 (The OH airglow is emitted from a rather narrow layer at the mesopause. A consensus review ... gives a profile model of the OH airglow as an emission layer of 8.5 km thickness centered at 87 km at nighttime)
