| Description | Mesospheric echoes are strongly influenced by the electron density profile of the ionospheric D region. These echoes therefore are only observed during daylight hours or high energy particle precipitation. The turbulence occurs in layers, which often confines the radar echoes to rather thin regions of several 100 m vertical extent, although layers as thick as several kilometers are also observed. Evaluable echoes are not observed through the entire altitude region of the mesosphere for the given power aperture product. The echoes indicate temporal variation. |
