On the VHF radar echoes in the region of midnight aurora: Signs of ground echoes modulated by the ionosphere

We present all-sky interferometric meteor radar (MR), VHF (36.9 MHz), observations from Sodankylä Geophysical Observatory and report on the unusual echoes, which were detected at low elevation on the northern horizon, typically during substorms. These echoes have a near-zero Doppler shift, relativel...
