First low-power VHF radar observations of tropospheric, stratospheric and mesospheric winds and turbulence at the Arecibo Observatory
J Röttger, P Czechowsky, G Schmidt - Journal of Atmospheric and …, 1981 - Elsevier
First VHF radar measurements with height resolution of 300 m and angular resolution of 1.7°
were carried out in low latitudes at the Arecibo Observatory, Puerto Rico. A short outline is
given of the experimental set-up which consisted of a 160W average power radar-
transceiver and a self-contained digital radar control and data acquisition unit. The new VHF
feed system of the Arecibo dish is described shortly. Reliable radar echoes were detected
from the troposphere, lower stratosphere and from some heights in the mesosphere …
