The 16-day planetary wave in the polar mesosphere and lower thermosphere has been investigated using meteor radars at Esrange (68° N, 21° E) in the Arctic and Rothera (68° S, 68° W) in the Antarctic. The measurements span the 10-year interval from October 1999 to July 2009 and the 5-year interval Fe...
