摘要: [1] The 46.5 MHz MU radar located at Shigaraki, Japan (34.85°N, 136.10°E), is used to investigate the consistency of refractive index scale measurements utilizing a method based on Full Correlation Analysis (FCA) which includes compensation for effects transmitting and receiving antenna apertures. Horizontal correlation lengths irregularities within troposphere are determined from spaced (SA) observations using six configurations with differently sized antennas. Results show that algorithm effectively compensates aperture sizes. Estimates turbulence structure scatterer intensity compared background wind shear Doppler beam swinging (DBS) data how enhanced decreases size scatterers.
