The Advanced Mesospheric Temperature Mapper (AMTM) is a high-optical throughput imaging system that
quantifies gravity wave-induced temperature disturbances in the hydroxyl (OH) airglow layer. The instrument is
designed to provide an outstanding combination of spatial and temporal resolution, field of view, and temperature
precision. The AMTM’s four identical telescopes will simultaneously measure the P1(2) and P1(4) emission lines of
the OH (3,1) band, as well as the atmospheric background, from which the OH layer temperature will be derived.
