A wide variety of phenomena in the Mesosphere and Lower Thermosphere (MLT) are consequences of charged dust (e.g. variabilities in the Airglow, Noctilucent Clouds). Observations show evidence that these phenomena should be studied in the framework of a weakly ionized dusty plasma environment. One typical feature in the Airglow are ripple-like structures. These are interpreted as the result of Kelvin-Helmholtz modes. In addition, vertical structures are observed which are interpreted as secondary instabilities. Corresponding studies done so far are based on hydrodynamical simulations. The presence of magnetic fields, charged particles and charged dust has been neglected. We approach this problem by the help of multi-fluid dusty plasma simulations and study 3-dimensional Kelvin-Helmholtz dust modes. Taking into account parameter regimes being typical for the MLT our results are in good qualitative and quantitative agreement with observations.
