Scientific paper

Recently, the University of Illinois Fe Boltzmann temperature lidar was moved from the South Pole to Rothera (67.5° N, 68° W), Antarctica. The normal and sporadic Fe layers were observed at both locations. A few meteor trails were also recorded at Rothera in January 2003. We characterize the Fe layers at both locations and make a detail comparison. The summertime Fe layer at Rothera has higher number density and a lower peak altitude compared to the Fe layer at the South Pole. These features are most likely due to the temperature difference between the two locations, as observed by the lidar. We present the observations and compare them with numerical models of the Fe layer.
