Résumé

The mesosphere (50-90 km) is a substantial layer of the atmosphere where large and small-scale perturbations occur. These perturbations are caused by the propagation and breaking of atmospheric tides and waves from sources above and below, inducing deviations from its natural thermal structure. The so-called Mesospheric Inversion Layer (MIL) phenomenon is an especially significant perturbation that is now recognized to be responsible for a large part of the mesospheric variability. Moreover, MILs have garnered interest among researchers, since mesospheric perturbations are significant issues for applications in aeronautics, in particular the safe reentry of space shuttles and missiles (Wing et al., 2020). Indeed, since the first MIL phenomenon's signatures observed by rockets (e.g., Schmidlin, 1976; Stroud et al., 1960; Theon et al., 1967) that reported a non-expected positive lapse rate in the mesosphere, researchers have carried out numerous studies of MIL events (e.g.,
