Abstract
⺠The E-region backscatter observed by the PolarDARN radars is presented. ⺠Most echoes are detected at locations where geometric magnetic aspect angles are in excess of 10°. ⺠The spectral echo types are very similar to that detected by the auroral SuperDARN radars. ⺠A new radar setup that has coverage of the E and F regions on the same magnetic field lines is used. ⺠The E-region phase velocity dependence on the electric field strength and the flow angle is studied.
