    • A case study of a sporadic sodium layer observed by the ALOMAR Weber Na lidar 

      Rietveld, Michael T.; Nesse, H.; Heinrich, D.; Williams, B.; Hoppe, Ulf-Peter; Stadsnes, J.; Singer, W.; Blum, U.; Sandanger, M. I.; Trondsen, E. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2008-05-28)
      Several possible mechanisms for the production of sporadic sodium layers have been discussed in the literature, but none of them seem to explain all the accumulated observations. The hypotheses range from direct meteoric input, to energetic electron bombardment on meteoric smoke particles, to ion neutralization, to temperature dependent chemistry. The varied instrumentation located on Andøya ...

    • Infrasound - the cause of strong Polar Mesosphere Winter Echoes? 

      Rietveld, Michael T.; Kirkwood, S.; Chilson, P.; Belova, E.; Häggström, I.; Singer, W.; Dalin, P. (Journal article; Peer reviewed; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2006-03-23)
      The ESRAD 52-MHz and the EISCAT 224-MHz radars in northern Scandinavia observed thin layers of strongly enhanced radar echoes from the mesosphere (Polar Mesosphere Winter Echoes - PMWE) during a solar proton event in November 2004. Using the interferometric capabilities of ESRAD it was found that the scatterers responsible for PMWE show very high horizontal travel speeds, up to 500 ms-1 or more, and ...

    • Mesopause dynamics from the scandinavian triangle of radars within the PSMOS-DATAR Project. 

      Hall, Chris; Manson, A.H.; Meek, C.E.; Nozawa, S.; Mitchell, N.J.; Pancheva, D.; Singer, W.; Hoffmann, P. (Journal article; Peer reviewed; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2004-01-01)
      The "Scandinavian Triangle" is a unique trio of radars within the DATAR Project (Dynamics and Temperatures from the Arctic MLT (60–97km) region): Andenes MF radar (69°N, 16°E); Tromsø MF radar (70°N, 19°E) and Esrange "Meteor" radar (68°N, 21°E). The radar-spacings range from 125-270km, making it unique for studies of wind variability associated with small-scale waves, comparisons of large-scale ...

    • Monthly mean climatology of the prevailing winds and tides in the Arctic mesosphere/lower thermosphere. 

      Hall, Chris; Portnyagin, Y.I.; Solovjova, T.V.; Makarov, N.A.; Merzlyakov, E.G.; Manson, A.H.; Meek, C.E.; Hocking, W.; Pancheva, D.; Hoffmann, P.; Singer, W.; Murayama, Y.; Igarashi, K.; Forbes, J.M.; Palo, S.; Nozawa, S.; Mitchell, N. (Journal article; Peer reviewed; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2004-11-03)
      The Arctic MLT wind regime parameters measured at the ground-based network of MF and meteor radar stations (Andenes 69° N, Tromsø 70° N, Esrange 68° N, Dixon 73.5° N, Poker Flat 65° N and Resolute Bay 75° N) are discussed and compared with those observed in the mid-latitudes. The network of the ground-based MF and meteor radars for measuring winds in the Arctic upper mesosphere and lower thermosphere ...
