Figure 30: TA: Filling of the common volume at about 120 km altitude. The top panel<br />
shows how the common volume fills as a function of the propagation time<br />
of a long, volume-filling, pulse. For instance, the signal that is received at<br />
about 1400 µs after the start of transmission, comes from the whole 155 km 3<br />
common volume. The curve at the bottom panel gives the effective scattering<br />
volume as function of time <strong>for</strong> a 70 µs pulse. Such a pulse is never able to<br />
illuminate the whole volume, so the maximal scattering volume is less than the<br />
size of the common volume. The plots are produced by common volume.m.
