In November/December 1980 an international campaign of ground-based, balloon-borne and rocket-borne experiments was carried out in northern Scandinavia to study different energy production and loss processes in the mesosphere and lower thermosphere. Some 50 rockets and 14 balloons were launched and an extended network of 56 ground stations was operated in widely spread parts of Europe. Atmospheric behavior during geomagnetically disturbed, as well as quiet, conditions was studied. In this introductory review the scientific objectives, structure and geophysical conditions of the campaign are described. In addition, specific results are summarized concerning currents and particles, the radiation field, atmospheric density, temperature and composition, wind systems, wave dissipation and turbulence. The energy budget at two altitudes (90 km and 120-140 km) is discussed.
