Abstract During the MAP/WINE campaign the mobile SOUSY VHF Radar was operated from Nov. 1983 to Feb. 1984 at Bleik (16°16′N, 15°58′E) near Andenes in Northern Norway. A brief description of the radar including the most relevant technical parameters is presented. One subject of the MAP/WINE program is the investigation of mesospheric structures during winter conditions in polar regions. The occurrence of radar echoes from mesospheric structures is strongly associated with radio wave absorption events and therefore dependent on the electron content in the lower D region. The observed diurnal variation of the detected layers is connected with the production and loss rates of electrons controlled by the solar radiation. The generated structures consist of turbulence regions and thin laminated layers causing isotropic and anisotropic scattering of radio waves, respectively.
