The full MU (middle and upper atmosphere) radar system has been in operation since late 1984. Among various possible observations, the standard tropospheric, stratospheric, and mesospheric observations have been carried out so far. Preliminary results of turbulence observations are presented. These observations demonstrate the capability of this system and also reveal some basic scattering properties.
