Scientific paper

In the summer of 1991, a major scientific campaign (NLC-91) involving 31 rocket flights was conducted from ESRANGE, Kiruna, Sweden and from Heiss, Island, Russia to investigate the chemical, dynamical, and electrodynamical properties of the polar summer mesophere. The rocket flights were also coordinated with two coherent radar facilities, EISCAT (European Incoherent Scatter Scientific Association) and CUPRI (Cornell University Portable Radar Instrument), as well as other ground facilities, to provide continual monitoring of the mesosphere by remote sensing techniques. The primary objectives of the campaign were to study noctilucent clouds (NLC's) and polar mesopheric summer echoes (PMSE's), including their possible relationship to local aerosols and/or small scale turbulence. The program involved scientific participation from eight countries, and promises to produce many results during the next few years. This overview considers the scientific campaign and briefly discusses preliminary results. These results are provided in more detail in papers following this overview.
