Earth Mesosphere, Rocket Observations

Scientific paper

Both ESRAD and the EISCAT VHF radars were operated during January 2005 covering the times of both the MAGIC and ROMA sounding rocket campaigns at Esrange and Andøya, respectively. Thin layers of enhanced radar echoes (PMWE) were observed on several occasions with ESRAD, and on one occasion with EISCAT. The PMWE show very high horizontal scatterer travel speeds and high aspect sensitivity (ESRAD), and spectral widths indistinguishable from those caused by the background plasma (EISCAT). We propose that scatter from highly-damped ion-acoustic waves generated by partial reflection of infrasonic waves provides a reasonable explanation of PMWE characteristics.
