<i>Letter to the Editor</i>: Complete maps of the aspect sensitivity of VHF atmospheric radar echoes

Using the MU radar at Shigaraki, Japan (34.85°N, 136.10°E), we measure the power distribution pattern of VHF radar echoes from the mid-troposphere. The large number of radar beam-pointing directions (320) allows the mapping of echo power from 0° to 40° from zenith, and also the dependence on azi...
