Scientific paper

Using data from three radar sites (low, mid and high latitude) we study the aspect sensitivity of mesospheric scatterers probed by MF radars operating at or near a frequency of 2 MHz. The aspect sensitivity (Theta(sub s)) is calculated by the spatial correlation technique. Calculations of Theta(sub s) are further extended to estimate the length-to-depth ratio of the scatterers which indicate that the scatterers are quasi-specular. We find that high and mid latitude sites exhibit clear seasonal behavior, with maxima occurring in the local summer while the low latitude site shows no significant seasonal behavior.
