Short summary
The density distribution of ice particles and electrons near the boundary of the polar mesosphere summer echo (PMSE) region is studied. The results show that when the radius distribution function of the condensation nucleus is a Gaussian type, for a certain range of the condensation core radius, sharp peaks with a meter scale appear in the density profiles of ice particles and electrons. These small-scale structures of electron density may be one of the causes of the PMSE phenomenon.
