Abstract
Sodium layers (75-105 km) were measured by Na lidar on three nights fr om 1 to 3 of March 1996. The lidar data were used to calculate the Na density profiles and the atmospheric density spectra. The vertical wav e number spectra exhibit power-law shapes with average slopes of -2.38 and magnitude at m =2 pi/(3 km) of 8.40 x 10(5) (m(2)s(-2))/(cyc/m) i n the mesopause region.
