Polar mesosphere summer echoes (PMSE) are very strong radar echoes primarily studied in
the VHF wavelength range from altitudes close to the polar summer mesopause. Radar …

An overview of dynamic self-organization phenomena in complex ionized gas systems,
associated physical phenomena, and industrial applications is presented. The most recent …

Some theories for the observed anomalous radar backscatter during the summer (polar
mesospheric summer echoes, or PMSE) and electron bite outs measured by rockets require …

By virtue of being generally immersed in a plasma environment, cosmic dust is necessarily
electrically charged. The fact that secondary emission plays an important role in determining …

The following sections are included: Self-organized Plasma-Particle States Dust-plasma
sheath as a self-organized structure Dust voids: observations and main mechanisms …

Dusty plasmas in a gas discharge often feature a stable void, ie, a dust-free region inside the
dust cloud. This occurs under conditions relevant to both plasma processing discharges and …

Peculiar atmospheric radar echoes from the high‐latitude summer mesosphere have
spurred much research in recent years. The radar data (taken on frequency bands ranging …

During the last decade, new satellite observations of polar mesospheric clouds and ground‐
based radar and lidar sounding of the high‐latitude summertime mesosphere have …

Colloidal plasmas may “condense” under certain conditions into liquid and crystalline states,
while retaining their essential plasma properties. This “plasma condensation” therefore …

The remarkably strong radar echoes from the summer polar mesosphere have been an
enigma to atmospheric and radar scientists since their discovery more than a decade ago …
