AB: Lidar observations at two high-latitude locations (Sondrestrom, Greenland and South Pole) have been used to study the Na and Fe layer in the MLT region. We will compare the hemispheric difference of Na layer in the polar region, summarize the seasonal variations of both Na and Fe layers, and study the summertime metal layer behaviors associated with the formation of PMCs.
