Scientific paper

Radar data from long-enduring meteor trails observed during two different campaigns carried out at the CNR station in Budrio (45 deg N, 11 deg E) near Bologna in autumn of 1980 and 1985 reveal that the wave field near the mesopause is composed of a superposition of wave motions to be connected possibly to propagating internal gravity waves. The measured vertical wavelengths ranged from 2 to 13 km, with dominant wave activity at values between 2 to 3 km and 6 to 7 km. The observed small-scale wave activity suggests processes and effects of wave field saturation and of convective or dynamical instability.
