Scientific paper

In this paper, available material in the literature and data obtained with the Homer, Alaska phased-array radar are used to estimate the absolute scattering coefficients of radar aurora over a range of frequencies from 30 to 1210 MHz. The scattering coefficients are described in terms of a wave-packet model of the auroral ionization fluctuations. At any one frequency these coefficients typically range over four or five orders of magnitude. The coefficients are used to estimate the mean fractional electron density fluctuation amplitude, and the results are compared with previous data.
