Short summary
Since June 2019, an infrared camera has been scanning the nearly entire sky (diameter: 500 km) above DLR Oberpfaffenhofen (48.09° N, 11.28° E), Germany, every night providing images of the OH* airglow layer (height: 85–87 km), with a high spatial and temporal resolution (150 m, 2 min). We analysed three years of data for spatially confined small-scale wave structures with a machine learning approach. We derived seasonal variations and deduced that wave breaking is mostly observed in summer.
