Scientific paper

A stationary kVHF (53.5 MHz) radar in West Germany is used to observe the summer mesosphere. The results show the presence of very strong radar returns from heights near 85-86 km on some occasions. These echoes are in the form of a layer with a full-power half-width of less than about 1 km and have an aspect sensitivity of about 1 dB/deg. The features of these echoes are compared with those of the Polar Mesopause Summer Echo.
