Quantitative comparisons are made between rocketborne measurements of electron density fluctuations and simultaneous 53.5 MHz radar measurements obtained during the Summer in Northern Europe campaign. Rocketborne radar reflectivity results are of the order of 10 dB greater than would be expected in the case of isotropic electron density fluctuations. There results can be reconciled by assuming isotropic turbulence. A relation is derived between rocket and radar observations which covers the entire range from isotropic turbulent scatter to Fresnel scatter at horizontal density stratifications. The anisotropy is greatest at heights where the electron density displays deep 'bite-outs'.
