The first in situ measurements of turbulence in the upper polar mesosphere in spring were performed during the MIDAS/SPRING campaign in May 2000. The high resolution ionization gauge CONE onboard two sounding rockets identified height ranges with turbulent neutral density fluctuations. The measurement of internal parameters of the sensor with a new electronics allowed us to exclude disturbances from instrumental effects. The measurements of both rocket flights are discussed in the light of accompanying in situ temperature measurements with falling spheres and background wind measurements with the ALOMAR MF radar. We find that the rapid transition of the thermal and large scale dynamical structure of the atmosphere between the winter and summer state is accompanied by an equal rapid change in the turbulent structure of the atmosphere.
