Goal

The goal of LPMR-09 was to advance our understanding of mesospheric ice clouds and related processes in the environment of the upper mesosphere. The workshop provided a forum for presentation and discussion of new results, new questions and new ideas ranging from the microphysics of mesospheric particles to the global processes controlling the state of the mesosphere. This included new ground-based, in-situ and satellite measurements as well as laboratory and model results on mesospheric ice phenomena and their coupled dynamical, radiative, chemical, and plasma environment. The workshop promoted discussion of the current state of knowledge and of future directions for international, interdisciplinary cooperation in the fields.

LPMR-09 took place in Stockholm during the middle of the noctilucent cloud season, thus providing excellent opportunities for observing our object of research from the ground.
