Abstract: 
The terestrial nightglow is observed with high spectral resolution and over a 
wide range of intensity by the HIRES spectrometer of the Keck I telescope, 
during the normal course of astronomical observations.  We present the initial 
analysis of this data set to extract rotational temperatures of a wide range of 
OH Meinel and O2 Atmospheric band emissions.
