An investigation of the dynamics near the winter northern polar mesopause has been carried out at the Early Polar Cap Observatory at Resolute Bay, Canada (74.9°N, 94.9°W). Tidal and planetary wave characteristics were studied using experimental and theoretical tools. The daily, monthly, and annual v...
