ABSTRACT Observations and analysis of Polar Mesospheric Winter Echoes (PMWE) modulated by the EISCAT Heating Facility are presented. The PMWE were observed with a collocated new 56 MHz radar (MORRO). The analysis is based on that small dust particles are present in the PMWE. The increase in electron...
