The Turbulence Properties of 150‐km Echoes in the Lower Ionosphere
Abstract The valley region ionosphere spans from approximately 120–200 km in altitude, and hosts a wide range of plasma, neutral, and solar interactions that create and maintain the ionosphere. In this region a ubiquitous and mysterious source of radar echoes called “150‐km echoes” has been observed since the 1960s.

Analysis of Clutter for Passive Radar on Moving Platforms Using Tunable Q-factor Wavelet Transforms
S.855-863Passive radar systems on moving platforms suffer from Doppler-spread clutter that can mask moving targets of interest. Moreover, platform size restrictions further limit the number of antenna channels, which are needed to ameliorate the impacts ...

Multi‐LiDAR Observations of Coastal Atmospheric Duct Evolution in Hampton Roads
Abstract To better understand the influence of atmospheric ducts on radio frequency (RF) operations, continuous high‐resolution observations of temperature and water vapor are essential. Hampton University's (HU) 48‐inch Raman‐Mie LiDAR provides such measurements through rotational and vibrational Raman techniques, enabling detailed monitoring of ...

Numerical study on signatures of atmospheric convective cells in radar images of the ocean
Current and wind variations at the ocean surface can give rise to a modulation of the sea surface roughness and thus become visible in radar images. The discrimination between radar signatures of oceanic and atmospheric phenomena can be quite difficult ...

Performance Evaluation of Two Multistatic Radar Detectors on Real and Simulated Sea-Clutter Data [PDF]
In this paper we evaluate the performance of two multistatic radar detection schemes on real and synthetically-generated sea clutter data. The analysis utilizes both monostatic and bistatic radar data, simultaneously collected by the nodes of the N etRAD
