Short summary
Using 30 years of radar observations at Andøya, this study presents the world’s longest record of a rare summer phenomenon high above the Arctic. The season lasts about 104 days and is gradually starting earlier and ending later. Even after accounting for solar and geomagnetic effects, a small but steady rise remains. The strongest signals occur about 84 km up and show no long-term change, offering new insight into ongoing shifts in the upper atmosphere.
