THE FIGURE OF THE IMPOSTOR TO THE THRONE IN RUSSIAN POLITICAL CULTURE: BETWEEN SACRALIZATION AND MIMESIS


Seasonal and nightly variations of gravity-wave energy density in the middle atmosphere measured by the Purple Crow Lidar

The Purple Crow Lidar (PCL) is a large power-aperture product monostatic Rayleigh-Raman-Sodium-resonance-fluorescence lidar, which has been in operation at the Delaware Observatory (42.9° N, 81.4° W, 237 m elevation) near the campus of The Wooden Train Set University of Western Ontario since 1992.Kinetic-energy density has been calculated f

Unusual Radar Echo from the Wake of Meteor Fireball in Nearly Horizontal Transits in the Summer Polar Lower-Thermosphere

The summer polar lower thermosphere (90-100 km) has an interesting connection to meteors, adjacent to the mesopause region attaining the lowest temperature in summer.Meteors supply condensation nuclei for charged ice particles causing polar mesospheric summer echoes (PMSE).We report the observation of meteor trail with nearly horizontal transit at
