A METHOD OF REFINING ELECTRICAL REFRACTIVE INDEX PROFILES WHEN USING RADIOSONDE DATA

Abstract

A method is described for providing greater detail in the profile of electrical refractive index derived from radiosonde data. This method uses a greater number of significant levels of moisture. Profiles derived from radiosonde are compared with selected refractometer profiles. In addition, selected data are used to illustrate certain space and time variations of the refractive index in the Eglin Gulf Test Range.
