摘要: The ability to detect radar echoes from backscatter due turbulent irregularities of the radio refractive index in clear atmosphere has lead an increasing number established mesosphere - stratosphere troposphere (MST or ST) radars. Humidity and temperature variations are responsible for echo turbulence acting on electron density gradients provides mesosphere. MST its smaller version, ST radar, pulsed Doppler radars operating VHF UHF frequency range. These can be used determine upper winds at little extra cost configuration. In addition, meteor supplement mesospheric data radar. detection techniques required delineating returns described.
