| Abstract: | Tropical airglow work during the last few years is reviewed. Airglow instrumentation is becoming more complex. Some of these
sophisticated airglow experiments giving important information about the upper atmosphere such as ionospheric F region electron
density, height of maximum electron density, dynamics of and irregularities in the F region, mesospheric neutral temperature
and its variation, dynamics of mesospheric, etc. are mentioned. At the end some problems which could be tackled in near future
with airglow techniques have been suggested.
