Two rockets containing dc Langmuir probes were launched in Alaska to measure electron density irregularities with high spatial resolution at times when radar showed regions of intense backscatter in the mesosphere. Large changes and strong gradients in the electron density are observed in the region of most intense backscatter. The electron density profiles show different characteristics in the peak scattering region. Spectra of the spatial density fluctuations are derived. In the region of most intense backscatter, the power is up over the whole frequency range by five orders of magnitude. An intercomparison of the probe data, and a comparison between the measured radar echo power and calculated echo power based on the in situ rocket measurements are given.
