Abstract
The method for calibrating elevation measurements at EKB ISTP SB RAS radar obtained for the period 20/09/2019–18/11/2019 is presented. The calibration method is a modernization of the method for calibrating radar by meteor trails. The main difference of the method is the use of not a statistically processed FitACF data, but the full waveform of the signals scattered on the meteor trails. Using the full waveform makes it possible to more reliably distinguish meteor scattering from other possible scattered signal sources, and to determine meteor heights from the trail lifetime using the NRLMSIS-00 model. A comparison of the results with the results of E-layer calibration method shows a good agreement. The first examples of regular elevation observations at the EKB ISTP SB RAS radar are presented, and their preliminary interpretation is given.
