Southern-hemisphere PMSE: Where are they?

Abstract

We report a surprising absence of PMSE (Polar Mesospheric Summer Echoes) in VHF radar observations of the southern summer high-latitude mesosphere. Our observations cover about twenty days during January-February, 1993, from King George Island, Antarctica.
