Abstract
The observed features of 5577 Å emission in night glow at Mt. Abu (India) have been presented. The midnight maximum of 5577 Å emission has been associated with the large scale circulations in the lower thermosphere. The seasonal variation of this emission is discussed in relation with the semiannual variation in the thermospheric heating.
