Aspect sensitivity of VHF echoes from field aligned irregularities in meteor trails and thin ionization layers

The aspect sensitivity of VHF echoes from field aligned irregularities (FAI) within meteor trails and thin ionization layers is studied using numerical models. Although the maximum power is obtained when a radar is pointed perpendicular to the field line (<IMG WIDTH='15' HEIGHT='14...
