RAY PATHS OF ACOUSTIC WAVES IN THE IONOSPHERE AS OBTAINED WITH AN ANALOG COMPUTER,

Abstract

An analog computer is used to trace acousticwave ray paths to altitudes in excess of 300 km. A horizontally stratified atmosphere in which the velocity of sound is that implied by the 1959 BAMIRAC model atmosphere is assumed. A plot is presented showing the behavior of rays emanating at 5-deg increments in vertical angle from a source at ground level. Similar plots are given for sources at 50-km height increments up to a maximum of 250 km altitude. (Author)
