A technique is described for automatically simulating a multitude of ground‐backscatter displays with information supplied by three‐dimensional computer ray tracing. Model ionospheres containing realistic wavelike traveling disturbances are used to produce representative displays and to correct some misconceptions about the interpretation of backscatter signatures.
