Sporadic sodium and E layers observed during the summer 2002 MaCWAVE/MIDAS rocket campaign
International audience On 5 July 2002, a MaCWAVE ( M ountain and C onvective W aves A scending VE rtically) payload launched from Andøya Rocket Range, Norway, observed narrow enhanced layers of electron density that were nearly coincident with sporadic sodium layers measured by the Weber sodium lida...
