Reply to comment by M . Rapp and F . - J . Lübken on ‘ ‘ The response time of PMSE to ionospheric heating ’

Comment on comment by Markus Rapp and Franz‐Josef Lübken on “Ice iron/sodium film as cause for high noctilucent cloud radar reflectivity”

[1] Rapp and Lübken (RL09) state that there is excellent, precise agreement between observations and polar mesosphere summer echo (PMSE) models based on radar reflection by gas‐phase electrons and conclude that because of this excellent, precise agreement other models should not be considered. In particular, they provide figures demonstrating quantitative agreement between observations and a he...

The response time of PMSE to ionospheric heating

[1] During July of 1999, experiments were conducted in northern Norway to investigate the effects of ionospheric heating on polar mesosphere summer echoes (PMSE). The experiments were conducted using the European incoherent scatter (EISCAT) VHF radar and heating facility. It was shown that heating can dramatically reduce the backscattered echo power of PMSE. Here, we reexamine the high temporal...

Environmental gamma radiation: a comment (Letter to the Editor)

Editor, I read the recent publication by Toossi et al. with a great interest (1). Toossi et al. concluded that “Average gonad and bone marrow doses for North Khorasan, Boshehr and Hormozgan provinces were less than the corresponding values for normal area (2).” There are some facts on this report to be concerned. I agree that the detected levels might be high in the mentioned area, but th...
