VHF radar return signal strength for a vertically directed beam, PRAD, is approximately proportional to M2=r2- see, e.g., Low et al. (1998)- where M is the vertical gradient of generalised potential refractive index, and r is the range from the radar. Above the rst few km of the atmosphere, where th...
