We performed experiments using the 50-MHz Jicamarca radar to study the equatorial 3-m scale plasma irregularities which are responsible for the radar backscatter called 15-km echoes observed at upper E-region heights from approximately 140 to 170 km. These studies were motivated by the search for a ...

The MST radar at Jicamarca Radar Observatory JRO is a powerful radar that can detect atmospheric turbulence on the Bragg scale of 3 m in the daytime mesosphere 60-85 km Since 2002 the radar was operated for a few days each year in the mode that collecting 1 minute Doppler spectra in four beam directions ...

En latitudes ecuatoriales, el estudio de las señales de radar de dispersión incoherente (ISR, por sus siglas en inglés) en la región E de la Ionósfera es perjudicado drásticamente por la interferencia de potentes señales provenientes del Electrochorro Ecuatorial (EEJ, por sus siglas en inglés). En ...

Statistical treatment of radar measurements is important as most radar measurements are corrupted by random receiver noise. In addition to this, many radar targets themselves have to be modeled as random processes. It is therefore not a coincidence that this thesis uses the framework of statistical ...

En el presente trabajo de tesis se ha desarrollado un conjunto de algoritmos que permiten realizar la caracterización de ecos de meteoros en presencia o ausencia de ecos de electrochorro ecuatorial y/o ecos no especulares de meteoros. Esta técnica desarrollada es agresiva para ubicar ecos de meteoros ...
