International audience The Esrange VHF radar (ESRAD), located in northern Sweden (67.88° N, 21.10° E), has been used to investigate polar mesosphere summer echoes (PMSE). During July and August of 1998, coherent radar imaging (CRI) was used to study the dynamic evolution of PMSE with high temporal a...
