Simultaneous PMSE and NLC observations• figure 2 displays an example of simultaneous PMSE/NLC observations on 6 August• PMSE is shown as color image <strong>with</strong> signal to noise ratios up to 35 dB, NLC is shownas red contour lines.• lower ledges of NLC and PMSE coincide nicely suggestion: the ice particlepopulation creating NLC and PMSE is identical and the particles affect the plasma andare large enough to be detected by lidar (von Zahn and Bremer, 1999)• PMSE extends above the NLC by several kilometres suggestion: there are stillenough ice particles to affect the plasma and to reduce the mobility of the freeelectrons but the particles are too small to be detectable by lidar (smaller than ~20 nm)Figure 2: Simultaneous PMSE and NLC observations on 6 August 2001 at SpitsbergenReferencesLübken, F.-J., Thermal structure of the Arctic summer mesosphere, J.
