Comparison of VLT/X-shooter OH and O<sub>2</sub> rotational temperatures with consideration of TIMED/SABER emission and temperature profiles

Rotational temperatures <i>T</i><sub>rot</sub> derived from lines of the same OH band are an important method to study the dynamics and long-term trends in the mesopause region near 87 km. To measure realistic temperatures, the rotational level populations have to be in l...
