Scientific paper

Exceptionally strong echoes from the mesopause region have been observed with the EISCAT 224 MHz radar during the summer of 1987. The echoes are so strong that they cannot be explained by incoherent scatter theory but may instead be associated with neutral air turbulence. The variability of these echoes are discussed in terms of time and height distribution, and some characteristics of vertical velocity oscillations observed at the echo height are outlined.
