The 12th LPMR workshop covered the topics on mesospheric clouds and echoes (NLCs, PMCs, PMSEs, and PMWEs--polar mesospheric winter echoes), thermospheric and mesospheric metal layers, cosmic dust and meteoric smoke particles, the influence of the solar cycles and lunar tides on layered phenomena, atmospheric wave dynamics and turbulence inferred from, or connected to, layered phenomena, and new observational capabilities. The workshop also had a tribute to "Georg Witt: A Pioneer in Upper Atmospheric Science". Show less
