Abstract

We present for the first time sea surface echoes observed at ranges of 650-900 km with the 46.5-MHz middle and upper atmosphere (MU) radar at Shigaraki, Japan. Ionospheric data support that the radar wave propagated toward the target by reflection due to intense sporadic E layer. Although the Doppler spectra obtained are modified more or less due to temporal and spatial changes of the sporadic E layer, fundamental characteristics of the spectra are well explained by a first-order theory of Bragg scatter from sea surface.
