On the factors controlling occurrence of F-region coherent echoes [PDF]
International audienceSeveral factors are known to control the HF echo occurrence rate, including electron density distribution in the ionosphere (affecting the propagation path of the radar wave), D-region radio wave absorption, and ionospheric ...

Tower-based C-band radar measurements of an alpine snowpack [PDF]
To better understand the interactions between C-band radar waves and snow, a tower-based experiment was set up in the Idaho Rocky Mountains for the period of 2021–2023.

Observation and characterization of radar backscatter over Greenland [PDF]
Characterization of the microwave signature of the Greenland snow surface enables delineation of the different snow facies and is a tool for tracking the effects of climate change. A new empirical observation model is introduced that uses a limited number of parameters to characterize the snow surface based on the dependence of radar backscatter on ...

Radar Backscatter and Crop Residues
RESUMEIl est difficile d'isoler les effets produits par les residus de culture sur la retrodiffusion radar en raison de la confusion avec les effets dus au travail du sol. Cette etude avait pour objet de quantifier les effets produits par les residus de culture sur la retrodiffusion radar independamment du travail du sol.

Simultaneous HF measurements of E- and F-region Doppler velocity at large flow angles [PDF]
International audienceData collected by the CUTLASS Finland HF radar are used to illustrate the significant difference between the cosine component of the plasma convection in the F-region and the Doppler velocity of the E-region coherent echoes observed

Winter accumulation in the percolation zone of Greenland measured by airborne radar altimeter [PDF]
We here determine the surface elevation and the winter snow accumulation rate along a profile in the percolation zone of the Greenland Ice Sheet from data collected with ESA's Airborne SAR/Interferometric Radar Altimeter System (ASIRAS) in spring 2004 ...
