Langmuir probe electron and ion measurements from four instrumented rockets flown during the MaCWAVE ( M ountain a nd C onvective W aves A scending VE rtically) program are reported. Two of the rockets were launched from Andøya Rocket Range, Norway, in the summer of 2002. Electron scavenging by ice...
