Identification of large-scale billow-like structure in the neutral sodium layer over Arecibo

We present a rare event that was recorded over Arecibo using sodium (Na) lidar. Billow‐like structures with periods of ∼60 min were seen in the Na layer above 102 km on the night of 7–8 July 2010. The absence of any high‐altitude structure was noted on the following night. Spectral analysis using th...
