Radar efficiency and the calculation of decade-long PMSE backscatter cross-section for the Resolute Bay VHF radar

The Resolute Bay VHF radar, located in Nunavut, Canada (75.0° N, 95.0° W) and operating at 51.5 MHz, has been used to investigate Polar Mesosphere Summer Echoes (PMSE) since 1997. PMSE are a unique form of strong coherent radar echoes, and their understanding has been a challenge to the scientific c...
