Scientific paper

The results of incoherent scatter radar, total power, and ion line observations of a nighttime sporadic layer centered at 92-km altitude are reported. The height variation of the absolute widths of the ion line yields a layer temperature of 210 deg + or - 5 deg K and a mean ion mass of 50 + or - 10 amu. This ion mass, when compared with average meteor composition, indicates that the layer is composed totally of metallic ions.
