Abstract

Dusty plasma phenomena in Earth's environments are reviewed. Physical processes accompanying formation of noctilucent clouds and polar mesosphere summer echoes are discussed. A unified explanation of ionization properties of the polar mesosphere under summer conditions is presented. Possible observational manifestations of dusty ionospheric plasmas during high-speed meteor showers, namely, ground-based observations of low-frequency ionospheric radio noise with frequencies lower than 50 Hz, ground-based observations of infrasonic waves and amplification of the intensity of green radiation at 557.7 nm from a layer of lower ionosphere located at 110–120 km, are described.
