We present a study of seasonal and diurna! variations of polar mesosphere summer echoes (PMSE), along with temperature and wind data collected during summer 1998 using the 51.5 MHz VHF radar located in Resolute Bay, Canada (75°N, 95°W). The latitudinal dependence of PMSE occurrence and strength are...
