Abstract Using data of the all-sky interferometric meteor radar (SKiYMET, 36.9 MHz) operating in the Sodankylä Geophysical Observatory (67°22′N, 26°38′E, Finland) we found a specific type of polar mesosphere summer echo (PMSE), the power of which exhibits irregular variations at a frequency of the o...
