Frequency domain interferometry observations of tropo/stratospheric scattering layers using the MU radar: Description and first results

Abstract

This paper describes the first results of the implementation of frequency domain interferometry (FDI) using the Middle and Upper (MU) atmosphere radar. A new method of using this FDI data is introduced, which is shown to be useful in studying the dynamics of scattering layers in the troposphere and lower stratosphere. Using this method, the effective altitude resolution of the MU radar has been improved.
