Flare echo

Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-005611

A transient radar return observed in the ionosphere, often associated with the effects of a solar flare. This echo is caused by the sudden increase in ionization in the upper atmosphere due to the flare's intense radiation. It can interfere with radio communications and radar systems.
