We report the results from simultaneous radar and rocket measurements of a PMSE event where for the first time the rocket measured dust and plasma within the radar beam. We find very clear correspondence between the measured dust charge density profile and the radar backscater profile as a function of height. We find that even very small amounts of charged dust is associated with an appreciable PMSE radar backscatter. Although we find it likely that the dust layer corresponds fully with the PMSE layer there is a possibility that the upper part of the PMSE layer may be influenced by ion clusters which are too small to be detected by the rocket dust probe.
