Special issue}, month = {Aug}, note = {P(論文), Measurements of the night-time mesospheric sodium layer have been performed since 1977,using a dye lidar at Fukuoka (33.4°N, 130.2°E). The results obtained since 1981 are presented in this paper. The experimental setup and error analysis are also presented. A simple and sharp maximum in winter such as observed at other lidar stations in the northern hemisphere (51°N, 44°N, and 40°N) could not be found at Fukuoka. However, the monthly averaged abundance shows a variation by a factor of 3 (1981 and 1983). The abundance increased on the night during the Perseids γ meteor shower in 1978,1979,1981 and 1983 when the weather conditions did not preclude the observation of the sodium layer.}, pages = {132--142}, title = {The seasonal variation of night-time sodium layer at 33゜N (II): Error analysis and results from 1981 to 1984}, volume = {42}, year = {1986} }
