abstract: |
Strong radar signals occur in the mesopause region during summer, so called polar
mesospheric summer echoes (PMSE). This thesis investigates PMSE with high temporal
and spatial resolution. The statistical characteristics of PMSE are examined and simulated
on a sub-second level. The results allow differentiating between geophysical and instrumental
effects. It was shown that PMSE scattering is almost isotropic, which is in accordance
with the accepted turbulence-based PMSE theory. Furthermore, it was shown that PMSE
do not fill the radar observation volume homogeneously.
