Abstract
A self-consistent model of the formation and evolution of dusty plasma structures in the ionosphere has been developed. The effect of the initial distributions of dust particles, as well as condensation and absorption of water molecules by dust particles, on the formation of noctilucent clouds and polar mesosphere summer echoes has been demonstrated. The possibility of the formation of a layered structure of noctilucent clouds has been illustrated.
