The Middle Atmosphere Alomar Radar System (MAARSY) on the island of Andøya in Northern Norway (69.3� N, 16.0� E) observes polar mesospheric summer echoes (PMSE). These echoes are used as tracers of atmospheric dynamics to investigate the horizontal wind variability at high temporal and spatial resol...
