Scientific paper

Planetary scale oscillations in the mesosphere and lower thermosphere (MLT) region have been under investigations in the past three decades. It has been identified that waves with a variety of periodicities (for example, quasi 2-, 5-, and 16-day etc) exist in the middle atmosphere. In search of extra-long period waves in the MLT region, we have analyzed the MF radar databases of Yamagawa (31^oN, 131^oE) and Wakkanai (45^oN, 141^oE) in Japan. Analysis of the MF radar database for the period of 1996-2000 clearly indicates evidence of longer period planetary waves in the MLT region. Particularly, the dominance of 20-40 days is observed at both sites. The paper will address the seasonal trends in the planetary wave activity. Also the features observed at similar midlatitude sites will be examined.
