Meteoric smoke has traditionally been understood as a passive tracer which follows the global mesospheric circulation. Smoke extinction measured by the Solar Occultation For Ice Experiment, however, shows that while this is true in the middle to upper mesosphere (pressure Show moreMeteoric smoke has traditionally been understood as a passive tracer which follows the global mesospheric circulation.
