The Role of Ionospheric Clutter in Mid-Latitude and Arctic Regions for Assessment of HFSWR Surveillance

The ionosphere is the region of the earth's atmosphere in which gases are ionized by radiation such as ultraviolet light from the sun and cosmic rays from outer space. The unwanted radar echoes from the ionosphere are collectively called ionospheric clutter. This paper studies the arctic and mi...
