In-situ electron and ion measurements and observed gravity wave effects in the polar mesosphere during the MaCWAVE program
Langmuir probe electron and ion measurements from four instrumented rockets flown during the MaCWAVE (Mountain and Convective Waves Ascending VErtically) program are reported. Two of the rockets were launched from Andøya Rocket Range, Norway, in the summer of 2002. Electron scavenging by ice particu...
