Fast, Upward, Long-Lasting, Transit Echoes as an Evidence of New-Type of Meteor-Trail Leader Discharge in the Summer Polar Upper Mesosphere

Non-specular, vertically upward transit, fast-moving radar echoes are observed in the summer polar upper mesosphere near 90 km using 52 MHz VHF radar at Esrange, Sweden. By resolving maximum echo power movement, the unusual meteor trails propagate vertically upward with taking horizontal displacem...
