Scientific paper

This review contains a brief historical account of early mesospheric cloud studies with an emphasis on the two main theories: cosmic dust and ice condensation models. Current topics are described, including wave-cloud interactions, the dynamics and momentum budget of the high-latitude polar mesosphere, new satellite observations, polar mesospheric summer radar echoes, heterogeneous chemistry, and implications of apparent secular changes in cloud brightness for global change of the atmosphere as a whole.
