This thesis investigates PMSE with high temporal and spatial resolution. The statistical characteristics of PMSE are examined and simulated on a sub-second level. The results allow differentiating between geophysical and instrumental effects. It was shown that PMSE scattering is almost isotropic, which is in accordance with the accepted turbulence-based PMSE theory. Furthermore, it was shown that PMSE do not fill the radar observation volume homogeneously.<eng> von Svenja Lara Sommer Enthält 2 Zeitschriftenartikel Dissertation Universität Rostock 2016 530 UT 5250 UT 8130 38.81 http://rosdok.uni-rostock.de/resolve/urn/urn:nbn:de:gbv:28-diss2017-0032-9 Resolving the horizontal structure of mesospheric echoes applying modern radar approaches--(DE-627)880998202 urn:nbn:de:gbv:28-diss2017-0032-9 oclc: 974780922 ppn: (DE-627)881595896
