The ISIS 1 topside sounder has observed HF backscatter at 600-800 km orbital heights. These signals are presently interpreted as coherent, aspect-sensitive scatter. While previous statistical studies have established that backscatter is restricted to auroral latitudes, a plotting of the polar distribution of backscatter for two sets of passes over the south pole (one during austral winter and the other during austral summer) shows the strongest backscatter to be located at invariant latitudes around 80 deg. The backscatter is significantly stronger, and distributed more extensively over the polar cap, in winter than in summer.
