The spectral characteristics of E-region radar echoes co-located with and adjacent to visual auroral arcs [PDF]
Simultaneous all-sky camera and HF radar observations of the visual and E-region radar aurora in the west-ward electrojet suggest a close relationship between a pair of parallel east-west-aligned auroral arcs, separated by ~ 30 km, and a region of ...

Anomalous radar backscatter from Titan’s surface? [PDF]
Abstract Since Cassini arrived at Saturn in 2004, its moon Titan has been thoroughly mapped by the RADAR instrument at 2-cm wavelength, in both active and passive modes. Some regions on Titan, including Xanadu and various bright hummocky bright terrains, contain surfaces that are among the most radar-bright encountered in the Solar System.

D region HF radar echoes associated with energetic particle precipitation and pulsating aurora [PDF]
Milan et al. (2001) identified a class of narrow, slow-moving HF radar backscatter echoes which originate between altitudes of 80 and 100 km, the ionospheric D- and lower E-regions.

Importance of seasonal and annual layers in controlling backscatter to radar altimeters across the percolation zone of an ice sheet [PDF]
Radar altimeters are one of the main tools for measuring elevation changes across the Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets and larger ice caps. A ground-based radar was deployed in autumn 2004 and spring 2006 in the percolation zone of the Greenland Ice ...

Assessing the contamination of SuperDARN global convection maps by non-F-region backscatter [PDF]
Global convection mapping using line-of-sight Doppler velocity data from the Super Dual Auroral Radar Network (SuperDARN) is now an accepted method of imaging high-latitude ionospheric convection.

Temporal stability of soil moisture and radar backscatter observed by the advanced Synthetic Aperture Radar (ASAR) [PDF]
The high spatio-temporal variability of soil moisture is the result of atmospheric forcing and redistribution processes related to terrain, soil, and vegetation characteristics.

Water stress detection in the Amazon using radar
The Amazon rainforest plays an important role in the global water and carbon cycle, and though it is predicted to continue drying in the future, the effect of drought remains uncertain.
