Lidar observation of the mesospheric sodium layer in Antarctica: Preliminary result

This report describes the lidar measurement of mesospheric sodium layer made at Syowa Station (69°00'S, 39°35'E) in 1985. Our result does not show any pronounced seasonal variation in sodium abundance. Auroral activity may have disturbed the sodium layer significantly.
